LDTBINDEX(3X)                                                    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
     ldtbindex returns the (long) index of the symbol table entry at the
     current position of the common object file associated with ldptr.

     The index returned by ldtbindex can be used in later calls to
     ldtbread(3X).  ldtbindex returns the index of the last ldtbread.

     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, ldtbindex fails and
     returns BADINDEX (-1).

     NOTE: The first symbol in the symbol table has an index of zero.

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