dld

`Dld' is a library package of C functions that performs `dynamic link editing'. Programs that use dld can add or remove compiled object code from a process anytime during its execution. Loading modules, searching libraries, resolving external references, and allocating storage for global and static data structures are all performed at run time.

Dld is no longer maintained or active; the standard dlopen function(s) have done effectively the same job for many years. We keep this web page around just for historical purposes.
