NAME

ldlseek, ldnlseek − seek to line number entries of a section of a COFF file

SYNOPSIS

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

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

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

AVAILABILITY

Available only on Sun 386i systems running a SunOS 4.0.x release or earlier.  Not a SunOS 4.1 release feature. 

DESCRIPTION

ldlseek() seeks to the line number entries of the section specified by sectindx of the COFF 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.  ldlseek() will fail if sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file; ldnlseek() will fail if there is no section name corresponding with ∗sectname. Either function will fail if the specified section has no line number entries or if it cannot seek to the specified line number entries.

Note that the first section has an index of one. 

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