static

Probes the library

Parameters

path	Path to library
probedPath	Probed path to library

Returns

true, if library could be probed. Otherwise false.

Unload()

void Arp::System::Commons::Runtime::SharedLibrary::Unload

(

void

)

Unloads the shared library.

Exceptions

Arp::Exception

in case the unload fails.
