The FreeLibrary function decrements the reference count of the loaded dynamic-link library (DLL). When the reference count reaches zero, the module is unmapped from the address space of the calling process and the handle is no longer valid |
|
|
| Code examples: |
|
|
|
|
|
| Declaration: |
|
|
BOOL FreeLibrary(
HMODULE hModule // handle to DLL module
);
|
|
|
|
| FoxPro declaration: |
|
|
DECLARE INTEGER FreeLibrary IN kernel32;
INTEGER hLibModule
|
|
|
|
| Parameters: |
|
hModule
[in] Handle to the loaded DLL module. The LoadLibrary or GetModuleHandle function returns this handle. |
|
|
| Return value: |
|
| If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero |

| My comment: |
|
Each process maintains a reference count for each loaded library module. This reference count is incremented each time LoadLibrary is called and is decremented each time FreeLibrary is called.
A DLL module loaded at process initialization due to load-time dynamic linking has a reference count of one. This count is incremented if the same module is loaded by a call to LoadLibrary. |
