NAME

       ldtbseek - seek to the symbol table of a common object file

SYNOPSIS

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

       int ldtbseek (ldptr)
       LDFILE *ldptr;

DESCRIPTION

       ldtbseek seeks to the symbol table of the  object file currently associated with ldptr.

       ldtbseek  returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If the symbol table has been stripped from the object file or if it cannot seek to the symbol table,
       ldtbseek fails.

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

Name
       ldtbread - read an indexed symbol table entry of a common object file

Syntax
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <filehdr.h>
       #include <syms.h>
       #include <ldfcn.h>

       int ldtbread (ldptr, symindex, symbol)
       LDFILE *ldptr;
       long symindex;
       pSYMR *symbol;

Description
       The  reads  the	symbol table entry specified by symindex of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory
       beginning at symbol.

       returns success or failure.  If symindex is greater than the number of symbols in the object file or if it cannot read the specified symbol
       table entry, fails.

       The  local  and	external  symbols  are concatenated into a linear list.  Symbols are accessible from symnum zero to SYMHEADER(ldptr).isym-
       Max+SYMHEADER(ldptr).iextMax.  The index and iss fields of the SYMR are made absolute (rather than file relative) so that routines and pro-
       ceed normally given those indices.  Only the sym part of externals is returned.

       Note that the first symbol in the symbol table has an index of zero.
