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.

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.
