LDTBINDEX(3X)        INTERACTIVE UNIX System        LDTBINDEX(3X)



          NAME
               ldtbindex - compute the index of a symbol table entry of a
               common object file

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

               long ldtbindex (ldptr)
               LDFILE *ldptr;

          DESCRIPTION
               The ldtbindex function returns the (long) index of the sym-
               bol table entry at the current position of the common object
               file associated with ldptr.

               The index returned by ldtbindex may be used in subsequent
               calls to ldtbread(3X).  However, since ldtbindex returns the
               index of the symbol table entry that begins at the current
               position of the object file, if ldtbindex is called immedi-
               ately after a particular symbol table entry has been read,
               it will return the index of the next entry.

               The ldtbindex function will fail if there are no symbols in
               the object file, or if the object file is not positioned at
               the beginning of a symbol table entry.

               Note that the first symbol in the symbol table has an index
               of zero.

               The program must be loaded with the object file access rou-
               tine library libld.a.
