NAME
ldtbread - read an indexed symbol table entry of a common
object file
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.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 common object 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 or equal to the number of symbols
in the object file, or if it cannot read the specified
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
routine library libld.a.
