should be used, from inside YAP, to load object files produced by the C
compiler. The argument  _ObjectFiles_ should be a list of atoms
specifying the object files to load,  _Libs_ is a list (possibly
empty) of libraries to be passed to the unix loader (`ld`) and
InitRoutine is the name of the C routine (to be called after the files
are loaded) to perform the necessary declarations to YAP of the
predicates defined in the files.
 
YAP will search for  _ObjectFiles_ in the current directory first. If
it cannot find them it will search for the files using the environment
variable:
 
+ YAPLIBDIR
 
if defined, or in the default library.
available as
YAP supports the SWI-Prolog interface to loading foreign code, the shlib package.

`open_shared_object(File, [], Handle)`. See also

 _Message_) is raised.  _Message_ is the return value from

be passed.  _Options_ is a list of atoms. `now` implies the
symbols are
resolved immediately rather than lazily (default). `global` implies
symbols of the loaded object are visible while loading other shared
objects (by default they are local). Note that these flags may not
be supported by your operating system. Check the documentation of
`dlopen()` or equivalent on your operating system. Unsupported
flags  are silently ignored.
