27/** @mainpage kLdr - The Dynamic Loader
28 *
29 * The purpose of kLdr is to provide a generic interface for querying
30 * information about and loading executable image modules.
31 *
32 * kLdr defines the term executable image to include all kinds of files that contains
33 * binary code that can be executed on a CPU - linker objects (OBJs/Os), shared
34 * objects (SOs), dynamic link libraries (DLLs), executables (EXEs), and all kinds
35 * of kernel modules / device drivers (SYSs).
36 *
37 * kLdr provides two types of services:
38 * -# Inspect or/and load individual modules (kLdrMod).
39 * -# Work as a dynamic loader - construct and maintain an address space (kLdrDy).
40 *
41 * The kLdrMod API works on KLDRMOD structures where all the internals are exposed, while
42 * the kLdrDy API works opque KLDRDY structures. KLDRDY are in reality simple wrappers
43 * around KLDRMOD with some extra linking and attributes.
