dlfcn-win32
===========

dlfcn-win32 is an implementation of dlfcn for Windows.

dlfcn is a set of functions that allows runtime dynamic library loading. It is
standardized in the POSIX. Windows also provide similar routines, but not in a
POSIX-compatible way. This library attempts to implement a wrapper around the
Windows functions to make programs written for POSIX that use dlfcn work in
Windows without any modifications.

It follows the standard as described here:
