/** <module> Utility library for loading foreign objects (DLLs, shared objects)

This   section   discusses   the   functionality   of   the   (autoload)
library(shlib), providing an interface to   manage  shared libraries. We
describe the procedure for using a foreign  resource (DLL in Windows and
shared object in Unix) called =mylib=.

First, one must  assemble  the  resource   and  make  it  compatible  to
SWI-Prolog. The details for this vary between platforms. The swipl-ld(1)
utility can be used to deal with this  in a portable manner. The typical
commandline is:

	==
	swipl-ld -o mylib file.{c,o,cc,C} ...
	==

Make  sure  that  one  of   the    files   provides  a  global  function
=|install_mylib()|=  that  initialises  the  module    using   calls  to
PL_register_foreign(). Here is a  simple   example  file  mylib.c, which
creates a Windows MessageBox:

    ==
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <SWI-Prolog.h>

    static foreign_t
    pl_say_hello(term_t to)
    { char *a;

      if ( PL_get_atom_chars(to, &a) )
      { MessageBox(NULL, a, "DLL test", MB_OK|MB_TASKMODAL);

	PL_succeed;
      }

      PL_fail;
    }

    install_t
    install_mylib()
    { PL_register_foreign("say_hello", 1, pl_say_hello, 0);
    }
    ==

Now write a file mylib.pl:

    ==
    :- module(mylib, [ say_hello/1 ]).
    :- use_foreign_library(foreign(mylib)).
    ==

The file mylib.pl can be loaded as a normal Prolog file and provides the
predicate defined in C.
