An extension may be loaded using any implementation of a :c:struct:`llext_loader`
|
||||
which has a set of function pointers that provide the necessary functionality
|
||||
to read the ELF data. A loader also provides some minimal context (memory)
|
||||
needed by the :c:func:`llext_load` function. An implementation over a buffer
|
||||
containing an ELF in addressable memory in memory is available as
|
||||
:c:struct:`llext_buf_loader`.
|
||||
needed by the :c:func:`llext_load` function. Several loaders are already provided:
|
||||
|
||||
* An implementation over a buffer containing an ELF in addressable memory in
|
||||
memory is available as :c:struct:`llext_buf_loader`. To use this kind of
|
||||
loader, it is helpful to use one of the :c:macro:`LLEXT_TEMPORARY_BUF_LOADER`,
|
||||
:c:macro:`LLEXT_PERSISTENT_BUF_LOADER`, or :c:macro:`LLEXT_WRITABLE_BUF_LOADER`
|
||||
macros to tell LLEXT the appropriate type of memory buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
* An implementation that reads data from a file in the filesystem is available
|
||||
as the :c:struct:`llext_fs_loader`. The path to the file must be provided
|
||||
when creating the loader with the :c:macro:`LLEXT_FS_LOADER` macro.
|
||||
|
||||
The extensions are loaded with a call to the :c:func:`llext_load` function,
|
||||
passing in the extension name and the configured loader. Once that completes
