Function Documentation

infix_library_close()

void infix_library_close

(

infix_library_t *

lib

)

Closes a dynamic library handle and unloads it.

Parameters

lib	A handle to a previously opened library. Can be nullptr.

infix_library_get_symbol()

c23_nodiscard void * infix_library_get_symbol	(	infix_library_t *	lib,
		const char *	symbol_name
	)

Retrieves the memory address of a symbol (function or global variable).

Parameters

lib	A handle to a previously opened library.
symbol_name	The name of the symbol to look up.

Returns

A void* pointer to the symbol's address, or nullptr if not found.

infix_library_open()

c23_nodiscard infix_library_t * infix_library_open

(

const char *

path

)

Opens a dynamic library and returns a handle to it.

Parameters

path	The file path to the dynamic library (.so, .dll, .dylib).
