Loading a DLL--Locally

You use the lr_load_dll function to load the DLL in your Vuser script. Once the DLL

is loaded, you can call any function defined within the DLL, without having to

declare it in your script.

To call a function defined in a DLL:

Use the lr_load_dll function to load the DLL at the beginning of your script. Place
the statement at the beginning of the

vuser_init

section. lr_load_dll replaces the

ci_load_dll function.

Use the following syntax:

lr_load_dll(

library_name

);

Note that for UNIX platforms, DLLs are known as shared libraries. The extension
of the libraries is platform dependent.

Call the function defined in the DLL in the appropriate place within your script.
