/**
 * @defgroup rtems_rtl RTEMS Runtime Link Editor
 *
 * The module implements a runtime link editor with the standard dlopen, and
 * dlclose family of functions.
 *
 * The runtime link editor is different to that found on Unix type systems. The
 * object modules are compiled for PIC or position indepentent code and
 * therefore require relocating when loaded.
 *
 * The object file format is currently ELF and object files can be separate
 * files or in an archive. Object files in an archive are referenced by
 * specifing 'archive:object' format. For example 'libfoo.a:bar.o'.
