/**
* @defgroup rtems_rtl RTEMS Runtime Link Editor
*
* The module implements a runtime link editor with the standard dlopen, and
* dlclose family of functions.
*
* The runtime link editor is different to that found on Unix type systems. The
* object modules are compiled for PIC or position indepentent code and
* therefore require relocating when loaded.
*
* The object file format is currently ELF and object files can be separate
* files or in an archive. Object files in an archive are referenced by
* specifing 'archive:object' format. For example 'libfoo.a:bar.o'.
