ldgetname(3x) [ultrix man page]

ldgetname(3x)															     ldgetname(3x)

Name
       ldgetname - retrieve symbol name for object file symbol table entry

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

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

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

       If the name cannot be retrieved, returns null (defined in <stdio.h>) for an object file.  This occurs in the following instances:

       o    The string table cannot be found

       o    The name's offset into the string table is beyond the end of the string table

       Typically, is called immediately after a successful call to retrieves the name associated with the symbol table entry filled by	the  func-
       tion,

ldgetaux(3x)															      ldgetaux(3x)

Name
       ldgetaux - retrieve an auxiliary entry, given an index

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

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

Description
       The  function  returns  a pointer to an auxiliary table entry associated with iaux.  The AUXU is contained in a static buffer.  Because the
       buffer can be overwritten by later calls to it must be copied by the caller if the aux is to be saved or changed.

       Note that auxiliary entries are not swapped as this routine  cannot  detect  what  manifestation  of  the  AUXU	union  is  retrieved.	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
       aux.

       If the auxiliary cannot be retrieved, returns null (defined in <stdio.h>) for an object file.  This occurs in the following instances:

       o    The auxiliary table cannot be found

       o    The iaux offset into the auxiliary table is beyond the end of the table

       Typically, is called immediately after a successful call to to retrieve the data type information associated with the  symbol  table  entry
       filled by The index field of the symbol, pSYMR, is the iaux when data type information is required. If the data type information for a sym-
       bol is not present, the index field is indexNi and should not be called.
