Field Documentation

char external_syment::n_name[8]

           The name of the symbol.  There is an implicit null character
           after the end of the array.  

char external_syment::n_numaux[1]

     The number of auxiliary symbols attached to this entry.  

char external_syment::n_offset[4]

         The offset of the symbol from the start of the string table.  

char external_syment::n_sclass[1]

     The class of symbol (a C_* value).  

char external_syment::n_scnum[2]

     The number of the section to which this symbol belongs.  

char external_syment::n_type[2]

     The type of symbol.  (It can be interpreted as an n_lang
     and an n_cpu byte, but we don't care about that here.)  

char external_syment::n_value[8]

         The symbol's value.  

char external_syment::n_zeroes[4]

             If n_zeroes is zero, n_offset is the offset the name from
             the start of the string table.
