+//! Bindings around the platform's dynamic library loading primitives with greatly improved memory safety.
+//!
+//! Using this library allows the loading of [dynamic libraries](struct.Library.html), also known as
+//! shared libraries, and the use of the functions and static variables they contain.
+//!
+//! The `libloading` crate exposes a cross-platform interface to load a library and make use of its
+//! contents, but little is done to hide the differences in behaviour between platforms.
+//! The API documentation strives to document such differences as much as possible.
+//!
+//! Platform-specific APIs are also available in the [`os`](crate::os) module. These APIs are more
+//! flexible, but less safe.
+//!
+//! # Installation
+//!
+//! Add the `libloading` library to your dependencies in `Cargo.toml`:
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [dependencies]
+//! libloading = "0.7"
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Usage
+//!
+//! In your code, run the following:
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! fn call_dynamic() -> Result<u32, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+//! unsafe {
+//! let lib = libloading::Library::new("/path/to/liblibrary.so")?;
+//! let func: libloading::Symbol<unsafe extern fn() -> u32> = lib.get(b"my_func")?;
+//! Ok(func())
+//! }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The compiler will ensure that the loaded function will not outlive the `Library` from which it comes,
+//! preventing the most common memory-safety issues.

+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// It can be used to load global libraries in a platform independent manner:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use libloading::{Library, library_filename};
+/// // Will attempt to load `libLLVM.so` on Linux, `libLLVM.dylib` on macOS and `LLVM.dll` on
+/// // Windows.

+/// Library::new(library_filename("LLVM"))
