R-13870-45783:[The sqlite3_load_extension() interface attempts to load an SQLite extension library contained in the file zFile. ] If the file cannot be loaded directly, attempts are made to load with various operating-system specific extensions added. So for example, if "samplelib" cannot be loaded, then names like "samplelib.so" or "samplelib.dylib" or "samplelib.dll" might be tried also.
R-27327-54431:[The entry point is zProc. ] R-02718-64874:[zProc may be 0, in which case SQLite will try to come up with an entry point name on its own. It first tries "sqlite3_extension_init". If that does not work, it constructs a name "sqlite3_X_init" where the X is consists of the lower-case equivalent of all ASCII alphabetic characters in the filename from the last "/" to the first following "." and omitting any initial "lib". ] R-38200-45242:[The sqlite3_load_extension() interface returns SQLITE_OK on success and SQLITE_ERROR if something goes wrong. ] R-18190-43830:[If an error occurs and pzErrMsg is not 0, then the sqlite3_load_extension() interface shall attempt to fill *pzErrMsg with error message text stored in memory obtained from sqlite3_malloc(). ] The calling function should free this memory by calling sqlite3_free().
R-12482-18070:[Extension loading must be enabled using sqlite3_enable_load_extension() or sqlite3_db_config(db,SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_LOAD_EXTENSION,1,NULL) prior to calling this API, otherwise an error will be returned. ]
Security warning: It is recommended that the SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_LOAD_EXTENSION method be used to enable only this interface. The use of the sqlite3_enable_load_extension() interface should be avoided. This will keep the SQL function load_extension() disabled and prevent SQL injections from giving attackers access to extension loading capabilities.
