howdy!

	i was wondering if FreeBSD had a kind of like DLL capability?

	i'd like to be able to do something as follows:

	// ... construct char *fileName
	moduleHandle = loadCodeModule(fileName);
	(char *)(*fn char *) myfn; // ii'm pretty sure i screwed that up
	myfn = getFunctionAddress(moduleHandle, "doSomethignCool");
	// use fn
	releaseModule(moduleHandle);


	does such a thing exist in FreeBSD?

	If not, where would one start looking to add such functionality?

	thanks.

	marc.
