LDLSEEK(3X)                                           LDLSEEK(3X)



     NAME
          ldlseek, ldnlseek - seek to line number entries of a section
          of a common object file

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

          int ldlseek (ldptr, sectindx)
          LDFILE *ldptr;
          unsigned short sectindx;

          int ldnlseek (ldptr, sectname)
          LDFILE *ldptr;
          char *sectname;

     DESCRIPTION
          Ldlseek seeks to the line number entries of the section
          specified by sectindx of the common object file currently
          associated with ldptr.

          Ldnlseek seeks to the line number entries of the section
          specified by sectname.

          Ldlseek and ldnlseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  NOTE: Line
          numbers are not associated with sections in the MIPS symbol
          table; therefore, the second argument is ignored, but
          maintained for historical purposes.

          If they cannot seek to the specified line number entries,
          both routines fail.

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