ldgetname(3X)                  DG/UX R4.11MU05                 ldgetname(3X)


NAME
       ldgetname - retrieve symbol name for object file symbol table entry

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

       char *ldgetname (ldptr, symbol)
       LDFILE *ldptr;
       SYMENT *symbol;

DESCRIPTION
       Ldgetname returns a pointer to the name associated with symbol as a
       string.  The string is contained in a static buffer local to
       ldgetname that is overwritten by each call to ldgetname, and
       therefore must be copied by the caller if the name is to be saved.

       Ldgetname will return NULL (defined in stdio.h) if the name cannot be
       retrieved.

       Typically, ldgetname will be called immediately after a successful
       call to ldtbread to retrieve the name associated with the symbol
       table entry filled by ldtbread.

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