Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Dynamically_Loaded_Library()

Botan::Dynamically_Loaded_Library::Dynamically_Loaded_Library

(

const std::string &

lib_name

)

Load a DLL (or fail with an exception)

Parameters

lib_name

name or path to a library

If you don't use a full path, the search order will be defined by whatever the system linker does by default. Always using fully qualified pathnames can help prevent code injection attacks (eg via manipulation of LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux)
