ldlseek(3x)  —  RISC

Name

ldlseek, ldnlseek − seek to line number entries of a section of a common object file

Syntax

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

int ldlseek (ldptr, sectindx)
LDFILE ∗ldptr;
unsigned short sectindx;

int ldnlseek (ldptr, sectname)
LDFILE ∗ldptr;
char ∗sectname;

Description

The ldlseek function seeks to the line number entries of the section specified by sectindx of the common object file currently associated with ldptr.

The ldnlseek function seeks to the line number entries of the section specified by sectname.

The ldlseek and ldnlseek functions return success or failure.

Note

Line numbers are not associated with sections in the MIPS symbol table; therefore, the second argument is ignored, but maintained for historical purposes. 

If they cannot seek to the specified line number entries, both routines fail.
