LDTBREAD(3X)							  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;
     pSYMR 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.  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 symnum 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
     routines ldgetname(3X), ldgetaux(3X), and ldtbread (this routine) proceed
     normally given those indices.  Only the ``sym'' part of externals is
     returned.

     NOTE: The first symbol in the symbol table has an index of zero.

     The program must allocate space big enough for a SYMR and point the pSYMR
     argument at the space before calling ldtbread.

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