Summary:
Libraries are reference counted and remain resident in memory until
they cease to be referenced.
When a task module is started and is dynamically linked to the
library, the reference count is incremented by 1 (one). When the task
module is terminated, the reference count is decremented by 1 (one).
Two functions, LoadLibrary() and FreeLibrary(), affect the reference
count. LoadLibrary() increments the reference count by one while
FreeLibrary() decrements the reference count by one.
