+interface DLLs</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>A static interface DLL represents an interface which is defined to its
+clients by one or more headers for use at compile time, and an import library
+for use at link time. </p>
+<p>When a executable that is a client of the DLL is loaded at run-time, the
+loader notes that it requires the static interface DLL to be available. The
+loader then either loads the DLL or, if it is loaded already, attaches the
+new client to it. </p>
+<p>In Symbian platform, all static interface DLLs must have a <codeph>uid2</codeph> of <codeph>0x1000008d</codeph>.
+The particular static interface DLL is then identified by name and by <codeph>uid3</codeph>. </p>
+<p>For example, if a DLL called <filepath>helloview.dll</filepath> is built
+with a <codeph>uid3</codeph> of 0x10000252, then the name used in the import
+library for ARM builds of Symbian platform is <filepath>helloview[10000252]</filepath>.
+When the loader loads the <filepath>helloview.dll</filepath>, it checks that
+its UID is <codeph>0x10000252</codeph>. If the <codeph>uid3</codeph> in the
+DLL does not match, then the load fails. </p>
