+"""
+The Libdl module in Julia provides specialized and lower-level facilities for dynamic linking with shared libraries. While Julia
+inherently supports linking to runtime shared libraries through the `ccall` intrinsic, `Libdl` extends this capability by offering additional, more
+granular control. It enables users to search for shared libraries both in memory and the filesystem, manually load them with specific runtime linker options, and look up
+library symbols as low-level pointers.
