Use :ref:`PR_GetError` to find +the reason for the failure. + + +Description +----------- + +This function loads and returns a reference to the specified library. +The returned reference becomes the library's identity. The function +suppresses duplicate loading if the library is already known by the +runtime. + +Each call to :ref:`PR_LoadLibrary` must be paired with a corresponding call +to :ref:`PR_UnloadLibrary` in order to return the runtime to its original +state. |
