NAME
       ldtbread - Read an indexed symbol table entry of a common object file

SYNOPSIS
       #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  ldtbread routine 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.

       It 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, ldtbread fails.

       The  local  and	external  symbols  are	concatenated  into  a  linear  list.   Symbols	are  accessible  from  symbol  index  zero to SYM-
       HEADER(ldptr).isymMax + SYMHEADER(ldptr).iextMax.  The index and iss fields of the SYMR are made absolute (rather than  file  relative)	so
       that  the routines ldgetname(3), ldgetaux(3), and ldtbread proceed normally given those indices.  Only the SYMR part of the external symbol
       structure is returned.

       NOTE: The first symbol in the symbol table has an index of zero.

       The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library libmld.a.
