getLoadedDLLs: Get DLLs Loaded in Current Session
In robertzk/monadicbase: The R Base Package

Description Usage Details Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

This function provides a way to get a list of all the DLLs (see dyn.load) that are currently loaded in the R session.

1	getLoadedDLLs()

This queries the internal table that manages the DLLs.

An object of class "DLLInfoList" which is a list with an element corresponding to each DLL that is currently loaded in the session. Each element is an object of class "DLLInfo" which has the following entries.

`name`	the abbreviated name.
`path`	the fully qualified name of the loaded DLL.
`dynamicLookup`	a logical value indicating whether R uses only the registration information to resolve symbols or whether it searches the entire symbol table of the DLL.
`handle`	a reference to the C-level data structure that provides access to the contents of the DLL. This is an object of class `"DLLHandle"`.

Note that the class DLLInfo has an overloaded method for $ which can be used to resolve native symbols within that DLL. Therefore, one must access the R-level elements described above using [[, e.g. x[["name"]] or x[["handle"]].

We are starting to use the handle elements in the DLL object to resolve symbols more directly in R.
