Is there a way to unload a module (a shared library) from a MATLAB session?

Say, my mex function depends on a shared library. That library is loaded into MATLAB's work space together with the mex code. The mex-code itself can be unloaded from a running MATLAB session by:

clear <mex_file_name>

However, the dependent library remains.

Is there a way to unload the shared library without restarting MATLAB?

If you are loading the library into your C program that is later MEXed, you will need to call FreeLibrary in C to unload it.

If you are loading the library into MATLAB workspace with the " loadlibrary " function, then you may unload it using the " unloadlibrary "
