PetscDLAddr#

find the name of a symbol in a dynamic library

Synopsis#

PetscErrorCode PetscDLAddr(void (*func)(void), char **name)

Not Collective

Input Parameters#

handle - obtained with PetscDLOpen() or NULL
func - pointer to the function, NULL if not found

Output Parameter#

name - name of symbol, or NULL if name lookup is not supported.

Notes#

The caller must free the returned name.

In order to be dynamically loadable, the symbol has to be exported as such. On many UNIX-like systems this requires platform-specific linker flags.
