Using funcion in a shared library

Is there any way in C to access a function in C shared library.
I have used dlopen to access /load the c shared library but unable to
use the function in the shared object.

Thanks in advance :b:

Here is an example. You will probably have to edit the shared library filename to make it work on your system:
