ldtbindex(3x) ldtbindex(3x)
Name
ldtbindex - compute the index of a symbol table entry of a common object file
Syntax
#include <stdio.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <syms.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>
long ldtbindex (ldptr)
LDFILE *ldptr;
Description
The returns the (long) index of the symbol table entry at the current position of the common object file associated with ldptr.
The index returned by can be used in later calls to returns the index of the symbol table entry that begins at the current position of the
object file; therefore, if is called immediately after a particular symbol table entry has been read, it returns the the index of the next
entry.
If there are no symbols in the object file or if the object file is not positioned at the beginning of a symbol table entry, fails and
returns BADINDEX (-1).
Note that the first symbol in the symbol table has an index of zero.
