any way.

what are *.so files in linux? I gather they are some kind of
libraries, if they are, how would you refer to the function within them?

*.so files are shared object files. Some kind of dynamic link library.
Try asking in comp.os.linux.development.apps.

Google for "dlfcn.h" (standard?) library.

Sorry, not a standard library. Doesn't exist for my
ARM embedded processor platform.
