Package org.bytedeco.javacpp

Class Loader

java.lang.Object
org.bytedeco.javacpp.Loader
@Properties(inherit=javacpp.class) public class Loader extends Object
The Loader contains functionality to load native libraries, but also has a bit of everything that does not fit anywhere else. In addition to its library loading features, it also has utility methods to get the platform name, to load properties from Java resources and from Class annotations, to extract file resources to the temporary directory, and to get the offsetof() or sizeof() a native struct, class, or union with its Pointer peer class and a HashMap initialized by the native libraries inside JNI_OnLoad().
