LDTBINDEX(3X)							 LDTBINDEX(3X)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     ldtbindex - compute the index of a	symbol table entry of a	common object
     file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     long ldtbindex (ldptr)
     LDFILE *ldptr;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     ldtbindex returns the (long) index	of the symbol table entry at the
     current position of the common object file	associated with	ldptr.

     The index returned	by ldtbindex can be used in later calls	to
     ldtbread(3X).  ldtbindex returns the index	of the last ldtbread.

     If	there are no symbols in	the object file	or if the object file is not
     positioned	at the beginning of a symbol table entry, ldtbindex fails and
     returns BADINDEX (-1).

     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.
