/* This program can be used to illustrate that we can load symbols from
* dynamic libraries at runtime without actually linking against them.
*
* Since (some) Linux versions don't use getprogname(3)/setprogname(3), we
* extract these function definitions from the BSD compatibility library, but
* unlike in the 'setget' example, we are _not_ linking against the library.
*
* Compile with 'cc -Wall -rdynamic dlopenex.c -dl'; compare with 'cc
* -Wall setget.c -lbsd'.
