st_lang_str(3)
NAME
  st_lang_str, st_type_str, st_class_str - translate symbol table codes to
  printable strings

SYNOPSIS
  #include <st.h>

  st_status_t st_lang_str(
	  st_obj_t *obj,
	  st_file_t file,
	  char *buf,
	  int buflen );

  st_status_t st_type_str(
	  st_obj_t *obj,
	  unsigned int type,
	  char *buf,
	  int buflen );

  st_status_t st_class_str(
	  st_obj_t *obj,
	  unsigned int sym_class,
	  char *buf,
	  int buflen );

PARAMETERS
  obj Specifies an object handle, as returned by the st_obj_open() function.

  buf Specifies an address to which these functions will copy a printable
      string.

  buflen
      Specifies the size in bytes of the memory region addressed by the buf
      parameter.

  file
      Specifies the handle of a file within the specified object, for
      example, the handle returned by st_obj_file_start().

  type
      Specifies the type of a symbol, as returned by st_sym_type().

  sym_class
      Specifies the storage class of a symbol, as returned by st_sym_class().

DESCRIPTION
  These functions are used to get a printable string corresponding to an
  encoded value in an object file's symbol table. The st_lang_str() function
  determines the source language for a file. The st_type_str() and
  st_class_str() functions translate type and class values, respectively, to
  their printable form.

  The buf parameter identifies an area of memory to which the st_lang_str(),
  st_type_str(), and st_class_str() functions copy a printable string. If the
  printable string exceeds the size specified by the buflen parameter, these
  functions truncate the printable string.

RETURN VALUES
  All functions indicate success by returning a value of 0 (zero). A positive
  return value is an errno value from a system call. A negative return value
  is a library error or informational code. The library codes are documented
  in st.h.

  Return parameters are set to 0 or -1 when an error occurs. Address
  parameters are set to 0, and file and procedure handles are set to -1. An
  exception to this is if a NULL pointer for the object or other return
  parameter is input.  In these cases, the return parameters will be
  unchanged. A nonzero return status is the recommended method for detecting
  an error return from a libst function.
