 The IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 standard defines [http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlopen.html  <dlfcn.h>]. This is a small API that makes an executable object file available to the calling program. The API calls are:
 
- int    dlclose(void *);
- char  *dlerror(void);
- void  *dlopen(const char *, int);
- void  *dlsym(void *restrict, const char *restrict);

 The functions provide an interface to the run-time linker and allows executable object files or shared object files to be loaded into a process's address space. RTEMS is a single process or single address space operating system so there is a close mapping to the needs of RTEMS.

 The main application can be viewed as an object file that is required to loaded, relocated and initialised before being started. It can be considered the root of a tree of dynamically referenced object files loaded at run-time.
