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.
