42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn Paddr_to_loadobj ,
45.Fn Plmid_to_loadobj ,
46and
47.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
48functions lookup loaded object information from the process handle
49.Fa P .
50This information is provided by the run-time link-editor,
51.Xr ld.so.1 1 ,
52and provides information about the loaded object such as the link-map
53identifier, the TLS module ID, and the address of various sections.
54.Pp
55The pointer to the data returned by the library will only be valid for
56as long as the handle
57.Fa P
58is valid.
59Any calls to
60.Xr Prelease 3PROC
61will invalidate the data.
62.Pp
63The
64.Fn Paddr_to_loadobj
65function attempts to find the loaded object information, if any, that exists for
66the address
67.Fa addr .
68Not all address correspond to memory regions that were loaded by the
69run-time link-editor.
70For example, if a user creates a region of anonymous memory through the
71.Xr mmap 2
72function, then it will not have any corresponding loaded module.
73.Pp
74The
75.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
76function looks up the object named
77.Fa name
78and returns the corresponding loaded object information.
79Two special values may be used for name.
80The macro
81.Dv PR_OBJ_EXEC
82refers to the executable object itself and the macro
83.Dv PR_OBJ_LDSO refers to the object ld.so.1 .
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn Plmid_to_loadobj
87function is similar to
88.Fn Pname_to_loadobj .
89It allows the use of a link-map identifier,
90.Fa lmid ,
91which constricts the search of the object named with
92.Fa name
93to that link-map.
94The special value of
95.Dv PR_LMID_EVERY
96may be passed to indicate that every link-map should be searched, which
97is equivalent in behavior to the
98.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
99function.
100.Sh RETURN VALUES
101Upon successful completion, the
102.Fn Paddr_to_loadobj ,
103.Fn Plmid_to_loadobj ,
104and
105.Fn Pname_to_loadobj
106functions return a pointer to the corresponding loadable object
107information.
108Otherwise, if none exists then
109.Dv NULL
110is returned.
