Question

Suppose I load a dylib and discard the handle:

void loadfoo()
{
    dlopen("/lib/foo.dylib" , RTLD_NOW);
}

I then want to close it in another funciton:

void closefoo()
{
    dlclose // ???
}

Can I somehow find the handle of the previously loaded dylib if it’s not been saved during the call to dlopen?

Answer 1

If I ever see such code in production, I hold the originator in eternal contempt, but:

void *handle = dlopen("/lib/foo.dylib", RTLD_NOW);
dlclose(handle);
dlclose(handle);
