LDLSEEK(3X-SysV)    RISC/os Reference Manual     LDLSEEK(3X-SysV)



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 main-
     tained 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 rou-
     tine library libmld.a.
