Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3
Module mod_dld
This module is obsolete. As of version 1.3 of Apache, it has been
replaced with mod_so.
This module is contained in the mod_dld.c file, and is not compiled in by
default. It provides for loading of executable code and modules into the server at start-up
time, using the GNU dld library.
Summary
The optional dld module is a proof-of-concept piece of code which loads other modules into the
server as it is configuring itself (the first time only; for now, rereading the config files
cannot affect the state of loaded modules), using the GNU dynamic linking library, DLD. It
isn't compiled into the server by default, since not everyone has DLD, but it works when I try
it. (Famous last words.)
Note that for some reason, LoadFile /lib/libc.a seems to be required for just
about everything.
Note: that DLD needs to read the symbol table out of the server binary when starting up;
these commands will fail if the server can't find its own binary when it starts up, or if that
binary is stripped.
Directives
Syntax:
LoadFile filename filename ...
Context:
server config
Status:
Experimental
Module:
mod_dld
The LoadFile directive links in the named object files or libraries when the server is
started; this is used to load additional code which may be required for some module to work. Filename
is relative to ServerRoot.
Syntax:
LoadModule module filename
Context:
server config
Status:
Experimental
Module:
mod_dld
The LoadModule directive links in the object file or library filename and adds the
module structure named module to the list of active modules. Module is the
name of the external variable of type module in the file. Example:
LoadModule ai_backcompat_module modules/mod_ai_backcompat.o
LoadFile /lib/libc.a
loads the module in the modules subdirectory of the ServerRoot.
