Apache Reference: mod_so, LoadFile

LoadFile

Load DSO Files into Apache's Address Space
Syntax: LoadFile file [file ...]
Example: LoadFile /usr/lib/libdb.so /lib/libm.so
Since: Apache 1.0

This directive loads one or more DSO object or library files when the server is started (or restarted). No special handling of these DSOs occurs; instead, mod_so just loads them but does not work with them explicitly. This directive is useful for bootstrap loading additional code that may be required for some (DSO-based) Apache modules to work. The argument file is either an absolute path or relative to ServerRoot.
