The filename is in utf-8. Returns 0 on success and 31 -1 on error. Call :c:func:`uv_dlerror` to get the error message. 32 33.. c:function:: void uv_dlclose(uv_lib_t* lib) 34 35 Close the shared library. 36 37.. c:function:: int uv_dlsym(uv_lib_t* lib, const char* name, void** ptr) 38 39 Retrieves a data pointer from a dynamic library. It is legal for a symbol 40 to map to NULL. Returns 0 on success and -1 if the symbol was not found. 41 42.. c:function:: const char* uv_dlerror(const uv_lib_t* lib) 43 44 Returns the last uv_dlopen() or uv_dlsym() error message. 45
