LIBRARY

Object File Access Routine Library (libld.a)

SYNTAX

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

int ldtbread (ldptr, symindex, symbol)
LDFILE *ldptr;
long symindex;
SYMENT *symbol;

DESCRIPTION

The ldtbread subroutine 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.  Note that the first symbol in the symbol table has an
index of 0.

The ldtbread subroutine returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  The ldtbread subroutine
fails if symindex is greater than or equal to the number of symbols in the
object file, or if it cannot read the specified symbol table entry.
