Detailed Description

       The DSO dynamic loader class is used to load object files.

       On elf based systems this is typically done with dlopen. A dummy stub class is generated
       for non-dl capable systems.

Member Function Documentation

   static void ost::DSO::dynunload (void) [static]
   const char* ost::DSO::getError (void) [inline]
       Retrieve error indicator associated with DSO failure. This is often used in catch
       handlers.

   static DSO* ost::DSO::getObject (const char *name) [static]
