- load-library UNIT #!optional LIBRARYFILEprocedure
On platforms that support dynamic loading, load-library loads the compiled library unit UNIT (which should be a symbol). If the string LIBRARYFILE is given, then the given shared library will be loaded and the toplevel code of the specified unit will be executed. If no LIBRARYFILE argument is given, then the libraries given in the parameter dynamic-load-libraries are searched for the required unit. If the unit is not found, an error is signaled.
Note that LIBRARYFILE is considered relative to the dlopen(3) search path by default. In order to use a file relative to the current working directory, a relative or absolute pathname must be used, i.e. LIBRARYFILE must contain at least one slash ("/").
