Question

Good morning,RedHatLinux : Is it possible to programatily load the libcert.so shared object? On most RedHat Linux installation there exists a TCP-IP library called libcert.so which can installed using yum install XXXX Hypothetically, suppose a software company wishes to build libcert.so independently and ship it with its other products, it would be necessary to programatically load libcert.so and then retrieve the function pointers to the public interface of the libcert library? Thank you.
