Export

Definition specifier to indicate that a procedure in a DLL should be visible from other programs

Syntax

{ Sub | Function } proc_name ( argumentlist ) [ [ ByRef ] As datatype ] Export

Description

If a function is defined with this clause in a DLL, it is added to the public export table, so external programs can dynamically link to it using DyLibSymbol.
(specifier to be put at the level of the first line of procedure definition, forbidden at procedure declaration line level)
