Description

In particular, from https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/Dynamic-Linking.html?highlight=dlopen:
> Runtime dynamic linking can be performed by the calling the dlopen() function ... *That’s basically it - you can then use dlopen(), dlsym(), etc. normally.* (emphasis mine)

The second part of that statement is ***100% false***

Issue #11753 still exists.

Could the documentation please be corrected, and issue #11753 re-opened until a solution has been put into place?
