nlist — retrieve
symbol table name list from an executable file
library “libbsd”
#include <nlist.h>
(See libbsd(7) for include usage.)
int
nlist(const
char *filename, struct
nlist *nl);
The
nlist()
function retrieves name list entries from the symbol table of an executable
file (see elf(5)). The argument
nl is set to reference the beginning of the list. The
list is preened of binary and invalid data; if an entry in the name list is
valid, the n_type and n_value
for the entry are copied into the list referenced by
nl. No other data is copied. The last entry in the
list is always NULL.
The number of invalid entries is returned if successful;
otherwise, if the file filename does not exist or is
not executable, or the nl pointer is NULL, the
returned value is -1.
A nlist() function appeared in
Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
