Description
flexiblas_load_backend_library loads a backend from a shared library. The libname parameter specifies either a relative or an absolute path of a shared library containing a BLAS implementation. Except of some special backends, like the upcoming CUBLAS backend the backend is initialized during the load.
Return Value
On success, it returns the id of the loaded backend which is used within a later call to flexiblas_switch to change the backend.
If the requested backend can not be found in the configuration, an error is returned.
Errors
All negative return values are errors and can not be used as an id for flexiblas_switch.
