Package "libdlrestrictions1"

library that implements library compatibility checks for dlopen()
This package provides a DLRestrictions library that can be used to check
compatibility of the external shared library (or plugin) against other
libraries currently loaded in the global symbol object. It might help to avoid
symbol clashes and provide means for graceful failure detection in advance
before the first dlsym() call. Otherwise, usage of incompatible library might
result in crashes or other unpredictable failures of the application.

A shared library that is protected by DLRestrictions provides a special symbol
which defines conditions under which the library may be safely used. At the
moment, the only restriction that may be imposed controls whether multiple
SONAMEs of the same library can safely co-exist in the same symbol space.
Shared library dependencies are also checked for compatibility.
