	)

Don't create KLibrary objects on your own.

Instead use KLibLoader.

Member Function Documentation

KLibFactory * KLibrary::factory

(

)

Returns the factory of the library.

Returns:

The factory of the library if there is any, otherwise 0

Definition at line 146 of file klibloader.cpp.

QString KLibrary::fileName

(

)

const

Returns the file name of the library.

Returns:

The filename of the library, for example "/opt/kde2&/lib/libkspread.la"

Definition at line 141 of file klibloader.cpp.

bool KLibrary::hasSymbol

(

const char *

name

)

const

Looks up a symbol from the library.

This is a very low level function that you usually don't want to use. Unlike symbol(), this method doesn't warn if the symbol doesn't exist, so if the symbol might or might not exist, better use hasSymbol() before symbol().

Parameters:

name

the name of the symbol to check

Returns:

true if the symbol exists

Since:

3.1

Definition at line 192 of file klibloader.cpp.

QString KLibrary::name

(

)

const

Returns the name of the library.

Returns:

The name of the library like "libkspread".

Reimplemented from QObject.

Definition at line 136 of file klibloader.cpp.

void * KLibrary::symbol

(

const char *

name

)

const

Looks up a symbol from the library.

This is a very low level function that you usually don't want to use. Usually you should check using hasSymbol() whether the symbol actually exists, otherwise a warning will be printed.

Parameters:

name

the name of the symbol to look up

Returns:

the address of the symbol, or 0 if it does not exist

See also:

hasSymbol

Definition at line 179 of file klibloader.cpp.

void KLibrary::unload

(

)

const

Unloads the library.

This typically results in the deletion of this object. You should not reference its pointer after calling this function.

Definition at line 198 of file klibloader.cpp.
