I want to get my linux loadable library to run a function whenever it is loaded and unloaded.

I know how to to this in windows using the entry/exit function

BOOL WINAPI DllMain
( HINSTANCE hinstDLL,
DWORD fdwReason,
LPVOID lpvReserved)

Under linux g++ I read that I should use these function macros

__init and __exit

I created two functions for my library based on examples I saw,

static void __init StartUp(void)
static void __exit ShutDown(void)

But these functions do not get called when dlopen is called or when the libary is unloaded.

Can anyone help me with this?
