dlerror(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 dlerror(3)

NAME
       dlerror - obtain error diagnostic for functions in the dlopen API

LIBRARY
       Dynamic linking library (libdl, -ldl)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <dlfcn.h>

       char *dlerror(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The dlerror() function returns a human-readable, null-terminated string
       describing the most recent error that occurred from a call  to  one  of
       the  functions in the dlopen API since the last call to dlerror().  The
       returned string does not include a trailing newline.

       dlerror() returns NULL if no errors have occurred since  initialization
       or since it was last called.
