LDTBREAD(3X)                         BSD                          LDTBREAD(3X)



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 (ldptr, symindex, symbol)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     long symindex;
     SYMENT *symbol;

DESCRIPTION
     ldtbread 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.

     ldtbread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldtbread will fail if symindex is
     greater than or equal to the number of symbols in the object file, or if
     it cannot read the specified symbol table entry.

     Note that the first symbol in the symbol table has an index of zero.

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