12.5 Obtaining Information about Loaded NLMs

The library.h file contains functions which help you to obtain information about a loaded NLM such as its address, name, and the location of its file system executable. Sometimes, when a thread enters your library, you need to know a little more about the NLM that owns the thread before servicing the request. These functions allow you to obtain that information.
