        CDLL

Known Subclasses:: OleDLL, PyDLL, WinDLL

An instance of this class represents a loaded dll/shared library, exporting functions using the standard C calling convention (named 'cdecl' on Windows).

The exported functions can be accessed as attributes, or by indexing with the function name. Examples:

<obj>.qsort -> callable object <obj>['qsort'] -> callable object

Calling the functions releases the Python GIL during the call and reaquires it afterwards.
