ldtbread(3)
NAME
  ldtbread - read an indexed symbol table entry of a common object file

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

  int ldtbread(
	  LDFILE *ldptr,
	  int symindex,
	  pSYMR *symbol );

DESCRIPTION
  The ldtbread() routine reads the symbol table entry specified by symindex
  of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of
  memory beginning at symbol.

  It returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If symindex is greater than the number of
  symbols in the object file or if it cannot read the specified symbol table
  entry, ldtbread() fails.

  The local and external symbols are concatenated into a linear list.
  Symbols are accessible from symbol index zero to SYMHEADER(ldptr).isymMax +
  SYMHEADER(ldptr).iextMax.  The index and iss fields of the SYMR are made
  absolute (rather than file relative) so that the routines ldgetname(3),
  ldgetaux(3), and ldtbread() proceed normally when given those indices. Only
  the SYMR part of the external symbol structure is returned.

  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.
