- Does anyone have any references to the 'additional' object format structures
- that are present in shared libraries on a series 700 machine?
-
- To quote the man page for a.out_800:
-
- A shared library file, created by the linker, contains the same
- sections found in an executable file, with additional information
- added to the code section of the file. This additional information
- contains a header, export table, import table, and dynamic relocation
- records to be used by the dynamic loader.
-
- I'm interested in examining this information directly. I've scoured the header
- files and the limited references to which I have access, all to no avail.
-
- Any help appreciated.
