| freeLibrary | | public void freeLibrary(String name)(Code) | | This method is used to free the library at the end of progam execution. After this call, any
instance of this calss will not be usable any more! This method is very likely NOT
to return!
DO NOT CALL THIS METHOD DIRECTLY!
It is used by the librarian to free a native library before physically deleting it from its
temporary loaction. A call to this method is likely to irrecoverably freeze the application!
The contract for this method implementation is that a call will bring the native library into
a state where it can be deleted. This translates into an operation to free the library. Since
no libraries should be left behind when the installer shuts down, it is necessary that each
library provides the means to free itself. For instance in a MS-Windows environment the
library must call FreeLibraryAndExitThread(). This will result in a native
fuction call that does not return.
Parameters:
name - the name of the library, without path but with extension |
