** Dynamic library loader for Lua
** See Copyright Notice in lua.h
*
* This Lua library exports a single function, called loadlib, which
* is called from Lua as loadlib(lib,init), where lib is the full
* name of the library to be loaded (including the complete path) and
* init is the name of a function to be called after the library is
* loaded. Typically, this function will register other functions, thus
* making the complete library available to Lua.  The init function is
* *not* automatically called by loadlib. Instead, loadlib returns the
* init function as a Lua function that the client can call when it
* thinks is appropriate. In the case of errors, loadlib returns nil and
* two strings describing the error.  The first string is supplied by
* the operating system; it should be informative and useful for error
* messages. The second string is "open", "init", or "absent" to identify
* the error and is meant to be used for making decisions without having
* to look into the first string (whose format is system-dependent).
* This module contains an implementation of loadlib for Unix systems
* that have dlfcn, an implementation for Darwin (Mac OS X), an
* implementation for Windows, and a stub for other systems.  See
* the list at the end of this file for some links to available
* implementations of dlfcn and interfaces to other native dynamic
* loaders on top of which loadlib could be implemented.
