70.Sh DESCRIPTION
71The
72.Fn Plookup_by_addr ,
73.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr ,
74.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr_resolved ,
75.Fn Plookup_by_name ,
76and
77.Fn Pxlookup_by_name
78functions look up symbol information in the process handle
79.Fa P
80and fill in the ELF symbol information in
81.Fa symp
82with the found symbol.
83Symbols may be looked up both by address and name.
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn Plookup_by_addr
87function looks up symbol information corresponding to the address
88.Fa addr .
89If found, up to
90.Fa size
91bytes of the symbol's name, including the null terminator will be filled
92in to the buffer
93.Fa buf .
94.Pp
95The
96.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr
97function is identical to the
98.Fn Plookup_by_addr
99function, except that it also fills in the structure
100.Fa sip
101with additional information.
102The definition of the
103.Sy prsyminfo_t
104is found in
105.Xr libproc 3LIB .
106.Pp
107The
108.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr_resolved
109function is similar to the
110.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr
111function; however, it attempts to resolve the paths present in the
112.Sy prsyminfo_t
113to an absolute path on the file system.
114.Pp
115The
116.Fn Plookup_by_name
117function attempts to look up a symbol based on its name.
118The
119.Fa object
120argument allows the caller to specify a specific object that was mapped
121in by the run-time link-editor to search for
122.Fa symbol
123in.
124The system provides three special values which may be passed in for
125.Fa object .
126The value
127.Dv PR_OBJ_EXEC
128refers to the executable's object (a.out).
129The value
130.Dv PR_OBJ_LDSO
131refers to the object
132.Sy ld.so.1 .
133The value
134.Dv PR_OBJ_EVERY
135indicates that every object should be searched.
136.Pp
137The
138.Fn Pxlookup_by_name
139function is similar to the
140.Fn Plookup_by_name
141function; however, it allows a link-map identifier,
142.Fa lmid ,
143to be specified and also provides additional information about the
144symbol in the form of the
145.Sy prsyminfo_t
146.Fa sip .
147The specification of
148.Fa lmid
149restricts the search for the object named
150.Fa object
151and symbol named
152.Fa symbol
153to the specified link-map.
154.Pp
155There are three special link-map identifiers that may be passed in.
156The symbol
157.Dv PR_LMID_EVERY
158indicates that every link-map should be searched.
159The symbol
160.Dv LM_ID_BASE
161indicates that the base link-map, the one that is used for the
162executable should be searched.
163Finally, the symbol
164.Dv LM_ID_LDSO
165refers to the link-map that is used by the run-time link editor, ld.so.1.
166The
167.Fn Plookup_by_name
168function behaves like
169.Fn Pxlookup_by_name
170when the
171.Dv PR_LMID_EVERY
172argument is passed to
173.Fa lmid ,
174indicating that every link-map should be searched.
175.Sh RETURN VALUES
176Upon successful completion, the
177.Fn Plookup_by_addr ,
178.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr ,
179.Fn Pxlookup_by_addr_resolved ,
180.Fn Plookup_by_name ,
181and
182.Fn Pxlookup_by_name
183functions return
184.Sy 0
185and fill in the symbol information.
186Otherwise,
187.Sy -1
188is returned to indicate that the symbol could not be found.
