_________________________________________________________________
ldtbread Subroutine
read an indexed symbol table entry of an executable file
_________________________________________________________________
SYNTAX
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <syms.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>
int ldtbread (ldptr, symindex, symbol)
LDFILE *ldptr;
long symindex;
SYMENT *symbol;
DESCRIPTION
Ldtbread reads the symbol table entry specified by symindex of
the executable file currently associated with ldptr into the area
of memory beginning at symbol.
Ldtbread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE. Ldtbread will fail if
symindex is greater than the number of symbols in the executable
file or if it cannot read the specified symbol table entry.
Note that the first symbol in the symbol table has an index of 0.
The program must be loaded with the executable file access
routine library libld.a.
SEE ALSO
ldclose(3X), ldopen(3X), ldtbseek(3X), ldgetname(3X), ldfcn(4).
CAVEATS
The executable file format is used only for executable files
(load modules), not for object files.
BUGS
This function can be very slow since the symbol table is
currently searched linearly.
