DLOPEN_PREFLIGHT(3)                     BSD Library Functions Manual                     DLOPEN_PREFLIGHT(3)

NAME
     dlopen_preflight -- preflight the load of a dynamic library or bundle

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dlfcn.h>

     bool
     dlopen_preflight(const char* path);

DESCRIPTION
     dlopen_preflight() examines the mach-o file specified by path.  It checks if the file and libraries it
     depends on are all compatible with the current process.  That is, they contain the correct architecture
     and are not otherwise ABI incompatible.

     dlopen_preflight() was first available in Mac OS X 10.5.

SEARCHING
     dlopen_preflight() uses the same steps as dlopen() to find a compatible mach-o file.

RETURN VALUES
     dlopen_preflight() returns true on if the mach-o file is compatible.  If the file is not compatible, it
     returns false and sets an error string that can be examined with dlerror().
