+PR_GetLibraryName
+=================
+
+Constructs a full library path name.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+   #include <prlink.h>
+
+   char* PR_GetLibraryName (
+      const char *dir,
+      const char *lib);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has these parameters:
+
+``dir``
+   A ``NULL``-terminated string representing the path name of the
+   library, as returned by :ref:`PR_GetLibraryPath`.
+``lib``
+   The leaf name of the library of interest.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+If successful, returns a new character string containing a constructed
+path name. 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`.
