| library.dynam {base} | R Documentation |
Loading Shared Libraries
Description
Load the specified file of compiled code if it has not been loaded already.
Usage
library.dynam(chname, package = .packages(), lib.loc = .lib.loc)
Arguments
chname |
a character string naming a shared library to load. |
package |
a character vector with the names of packages to search through. |
lib.loc |
a character vector describing the location of R library trees to search through. |
Details
This is designed to be used inside a
package rather than at the command line, and should really only be
used inside .First.lib(). The system-specific extension
for shared libraries
(e.g., ‘.so’ or ‘.sl’ on Unix systems)
should not be added.
Value
The .Dyn.libs vector with the names of packages
which have used library.dynam(..) in the current R session.
It is returned as invisible, unless the chname
argument is missing.
Users should never set .Dyn.libs directly.
