ldtbseek(3) Library Functions Manual ldtbseek(3)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.

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.

I've been a contractor for a major utility company for a number of years, on a number of seperate IT contracts mostly Unix. The company had 10 different flavours of unix and multiple different varsions of most of them.
