Built a custom CMD that loads commands at runtime using dynamic linking
4 points by nextma 22 days ago
In my second semester, I built this CMD out of curiosity about how a CMD can add new commands without recompiling. I used the OS’s dynamic linking mechanism to load new commands at runtime without recompiling the code.

Note: windows only

Beyond curiosity, do you see practical use cases for this dynamic command-loading pattern?
for me it is for knowledge.
