NAME

       ldgetaux - Retrieves an auxiliary entry

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h> #include <filehdr.h> #include <sym.h> #include <ldfcn.h>

       pAUXU ldgetaux (ldptr, iaux ) LDFILE  ldptr ; long  iaux ;

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldgetaux  routine  returns	a pointer to the auxiliary table entry (AUXU) indexed by iaux.	The entry is contained in a static buffer.
       Because the buffer can be overwritten by later calls to ldgetaux, the entry must be copied by the caller if it is to be saved or changed.

       Note that auxiliary table entries are not swapped.  If LDAUXSWAP(ldptr,ldf) is non-zero, a further call to swap_aux  is	required.   Before
       calling the swap_aux routine, the caller should copy the entry.

       If  the	auxiliary  table entry cannot be retrieved, ldgetaux returns NULL.  This occurs when: The auxiliary table cannot be found The iaux
       offset into the auxiliary table is beyond the end of the table

       The ltdbread routine returns a local symbol (SYMR) structure that may contain an index into the auxiliary table.  If so,  ldgetaux  can	be
       called  with  this index to retrieve data type information for the local symbol.  If the data type information for a symbol is not present,
       ldgetaux should not be called.

       The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library libmld.a.

NAME

       ldgetname - Retrieve symbol name for object file symbol table entry

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h> #include <filehdr.h> #include <sym.h> #include <ldfcn.h>

       char *ldgetname (ldptr, symbol) LDFILE * ldptr ; pSYMR * symbol ;

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldgetname  routine	returns  a  pointer  to  the name associated with symbol.  The pointer is returned as a string in a static buffer.
       Because the buffer can be overwritten by later calls to ldgetname, the caller must copy the buffer if the name is to be saved.

       If the name cannot be retrieved, ldgetname returns NULL (defined in <stdio.h>) for an object file.  This occurs when: The string table can-
       not be found The name's offset into the string table is beyond the end of the string table

       Typically, ldgetname is called immediately after a successful call to ldtbread. Ldgetname retrieves the name associated with the symbol ta-
       ble entry filled by ldtbread.

       The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library libmld.a.

       [Tru64 UNIX]  For C++, ldgetname returns the demangled name.
