41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn Paddr_to_loadobj ,
44.Fn Plmid_to_loadobj ,
45and
46.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
47functions lookup loaded object information from the process handle
48.Fa P .
49This information is provided by the run-time link-editor,
50.Xr ld.so.1 1 ,
51and provides information about the loaded object such as the link-map
52identifier, the TLS module ID, and the address of various sections.
53.Pp
54The pointer to the data returned by the library will only be valid for
55as long as the handle
56.Fa P
57is valid.
58Any calls to
59.Xr Prelease 3PROC
60will invalidate the data.
61.Pp
62The
63.Fn Paddr_to_loadobj
64function attempts to find the loaded object information, if any, that exists for
65the address
66.Fa addr .
67Not all address correspond to memory regions that were loaded by the
68run-time link-editor.
69For example, if a user creates a region of anonymous memory through the
70.Xr mmap 2
71function, then it will not have any corresponding loaded module.
72.Pp
73The
74.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
75function looks up the object named
76.Fa name
77and returns the corresponding loaded object information.
78Two special values may be used for name.
79The macro
80.Dv PR_OBJ_EXEC
81refers to the executable object itself and the macro
82.Dv PR_OBJ_LDSO refers to the object ld.so.1 .
83.Pp
84The
85.Fn Plmid_to_loadobj
86function is similar to
87.Fn Pname_to_loadobj .
88It allows the use of a link-map identifier,
89.Fa lmid ,
90which constricts the search of the object named with
91.Fa name
92to that link-map.
93The special value of
94.Dv PR_LMID_EVERY
95may be passed to indicate that every link-map should be searched, which
96is equivalent in behavior to the
97.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
98function.
99.Sh RETURN VALUES
100Upon successful completion, the
101.Fn Paddr_to_loadobj ,
102.Fn Plmid_to_loadobj ,
103and
104.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
105functions return a pointer to the corresponding loadable object
106information.
107Otherwise, if none exists then
108.Dv NULL
109is returned.
