#include <dlfcn.h>

The <dlfcn.h> header defines at least the following macros for use in the construction of a dlopen mode argument:

RTLD_LAZY	Relocations are performed at an implementation-dependent time.
RTLD_NOW	Relocations are performed when the object is loaded.
RTLD_GLOBAL	All symbols are available for relocation processing of other modules
RTLD_LOCAL	All symbols are not made available for relocation processing by other modules.

The header <dlfcn.h> declares the following functions, which may also be defined as macros:

void    *dlopen(const char *, int);
void    *dlsym(void *, const char *);
int      dlclose(void *); 
char    *dlerror(void);
