XPRMloadmod, XPRMloadmodsec

1. This function returns the reference of a new model instance created from a binary model file. The second form of the function will be used to load encrypted and/or signed BIM files if additional information has to be provided. While loading a model from a file, Mosel also automatically opens any additional modules and loads packages that are required by this model. If an internal name is provided, it is used in place of the name stored in the BIM file. If a model already existing in core memory ( i.e. with the same internal name) is loaded a second time, the first instance of this model is deleted and a reference to the newly created model is returned. If model name or provided internal name is "*", a unique name is automatically generated using pattern "model_#" where # is a hexadecimal number. If the loaded model has no name (empty string) and no internal name is provided ( intname is NULL or an empty string), string "(none)" is used as a default.

2. Both BIM files referring to models and packages can be loaded by this function but only a model can be executed with XPRMrunmod.

3. The argument keys is a list of public key files ( i.e. each line of the file is a key file name): when a signed BIM file is loaded, its signature is checked with the keys listed in this file. If this argument is not specified, the signing key is searched in the default public keys directory located at getparam("ssl_dir")+"/pubkeys".

4. When the options "-l" or "-h" are used only the requested file is loaded and the resulting model cannot be executed. These options are typically used to inspect the dependencies of a BIM file (see XPRMgetnextdep).

5. If the flags have the special value "!CLONE!" and the internal name is "*" and the file name consists in a sequence of digits and all other parameters are empty, this routine will interpret the file name as a model number (see XPRMgetmodprop, property XPRM_PROP_ID) and create a copy of the corresponding model (without using any bim file). The returned model reference can be used just like it had been loaded from a bim file but it will share with its reference model all constant information (like constant strings or the code segment). As a consequence, during a debugging session, setting a breakpoint in a model loaded this way also installs the same breakpoint in all other models coming from the same source (including the reference model).
