## Public Member Functions
const std::string & | getName () const
| return name of library stripped of path.
const std::string & | getFullName () const
| return name of library including full path to it.
HANDLE | getHandle () const
| return handle to .dso/.dll dynamic library itself.
PROC_ADDRESS | getProcAddress (const std::string &procName)
| return address of function located in library.
## Static Public Member Functions
static DynamicLibrary * | loadLibrary (const std::string &libraryName)
| returns a pointer to a DynamicLibrary object on successfully opening of library returns NULL on failure.
## Protected Member Functions
| DynamicLibrary ()
| disallow default constructor.
| DynamicLibrary (const DynamicLibrary &)
| disallow copy constructor.
DynamicLibrary & | operator= (const DynamicLibrary &)
| disallow copy operator.
| DynamicLibrary (const std::string &name, HANDLE handle)
