How to use dynamic-library-alist to load my own DLL?

Question

I found Emacs has a dynamic-library-alist. But there's no instruction about how to use the libraries after it is been loaded...any idea?

What I want to acheive is to load a DLL on my Windows system and call the exposed function.

This variable is intended to be used for checking what libraries are present, not to load new ones... — wasamasa, Commented Jun 9, 2016 at 16:23
So dynamic-library-alist won't work. Any suggestions on how to accomplish what the OP wants to do? — GLRoman, Commented Feb 14, 2022 at 17:47

Converting @wasamasa's comment to a answer:

dynamic-library-alist has nothing to do with loading DLL on Windows platform.

Quoting its docstring:

Also note that this is not a generic facility for accessing external libraries; only those already known by Emacs will be loaded.
