from a dll. An example would be (with #defines translated):

extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall FT_Open(int
deviceNumber, int *pHandle);

but where is the actual dll filename specified so my program knows
where to find it?

That should be resolved during linking. Your project needs to have
the "export library" of that DLL supplied in the linker inputs.
