NAME

ldlseek, ldnlseek − seek to line number entries of a section of a common object file

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <syms.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>

int ldlseek (ldptr, sectindx)
LDFILE ∗ldptr;
unsigned short sectindx;

int ldnlseek (ldptr, sectname)
LDFILE ∗ldptr;
char ∗sectname;

DESCRIPTION

ldlseek seeks to the line number entries of the section specified by sectindx of the common object file currently associated with ldptr.

ldnlseek seeks to the line number entries of the section specified by sectname.

ldlseek and ldnlseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  NOTE: Line numbers are not associated with sections in the MIPS symbol table; therefore, the second argument is ignored, but maintained for historical purposes. 

If they cannot seek to the specified line number entries, both routines fail. 

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