# 4. Frequently Asked Questions

4.1. I'm using Windows and I can't find the `dlfcn.h` header file on my PC! What's the problem?
4.2. Is there some kind of `dlopen`-compatible wrapper for the Windows `LoadLibrary` API?

4.1. I'm using Windows and I can't find the `dlfcn.h` header file on my PC! What's the problem?

The problem is, as usual, Windows. There is no `dlfcn.h` header on Windows,and there is no `dlopen` API. There is a similar API around the `LoadLibrary` function, and most of what is written here applies to it, too. Refer to the Win32 Platform SDK documentation or have a look at MSDN.

4.2. Is there some kind of `dlopen`-compatible wrapper for the Windows `LoadLibrary` API?

I don't know, and honestly I don't care. If you know of something, feel free mailing me and I'll eventually put it here.
