In case of error, returns ``NULL``. + + +Description +----------- + +This function constructs a full path name from the specified directory +name and library name. The constructed path name refers to the actual +dynamically loaded library. It is suitable for use in the +:ref:`PR_LoadLibrary` call. + +This function does not test for existence of the specified file, it just +constructs the full filename. The way the name is constructed is system +dependent. + +If sufficient storage cannot be allocated to contain the constructed +path name, the function returns ``NULL``. Storage for the result is +allocated by the runtime and becomes the responsibility of the caller. +When it is no longer used, free it using :ref:`PR_FreeLibraryName`. |
