Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users What do you call the > thingy in context of the shell? Post 302281046 by otheus on Wednesday 28th of January 2009 05:20:18 AM

It's the output redirector. I wonder what Bourne called it. We old-timers say "bang" for !, "dollar" for $, "pound" or "hash" or "comment symbol" for "#". But in fact, I've only been around UNIX since the late 80's, so I may not be familiar with the ancient nomenclature.

ldgetname(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      ldgetname(3)

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. RELATED INFORMATION
ldclose(3), ldopen(3), ldtbseek(3), ldtbread(3), ldfcn(4). delim off ldgetname(3)
