.Nd find the shared object containing a given address

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In dlfcn.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn dladdr "const void *addr" "Dl_info *info"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dladdr
|
|
function
|
|
queries the dynamic linker for information about the shared object
|
|
containing the address
|
|
.Fa addr .
|
|
The information is returned in the structure specified by
|
|
.Fa info .
|
|
The structure contains at least the following members:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "XXXconst char *dli_fname"
|
|
.It Li "const char *dli_fname"
|
|
The pathname of the shared object containing the address.
|
|
.It Li "void *dli_fbase"
|
|
The base address at which the shared object is mapped into the
|
|
address space of the calling process.
|
|
.It Li "const char *dli_sname"
|
|
The name of the nearest run-time symbol with a value less than or
|
|
equal to
|
|
.Fa addr .
|
|
When possible, the symbol name is returned as it would appear in C
|
|
source code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no symbol with a suitable value is found, both this field and
|
|
.Va dli_saddr
|
|
are set to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It Li "void *dli_saddr"
|
|
The value of the symbol returned in
|
|
.Li dli_sname .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dladdr
|
|
function
|
|
is available only in dynamically linked programs.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If a mapped shared object containing
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
cannot be found,
|
|
.Fn dladdr
|
|
returns 0.
|
|
In that case, a message detailing the failure can be retrieved by
|
|
calling
|
|
.Fn dlerror .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On success, a non-zero value is returned.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dladdr
|
|
function first appeared in the Solaris operating system.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
This implementation is bug-compatible with the Solaris
|
|
implementation. In particular, the following bugs are present:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
lies in the main executable rather than in a shared library, the
|
|
pathname returned in
|
|
.Va dli_fname
|
|
may not be correct. The pathname is taken directly from
|
|
.Va argv[0]
|
|
of the calling process. When executing a program specified by its
|
|
full pathname, most shells set
|
|
.Va argv[0]
|
|
to the pathname. But this is not required of shells or guaranteed
|
|
by the operating system.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
is of the form
|
|
.Va &func ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Va func
|
|
is a global function, its value may be an unpleasant surprise. In
|
|
dynamically linked programs, the address of a global function is
|
|
considered to point to its program linkage table entry, rather than to
|
|
the entry point of the function itself. This causes most global
|
|
functions to appear to be defined within the main executable, rather
|
|
than in the shared libraries where the actual code resides.
|
|
.It
|
|
Returning 0 as an indication of failure goes against long-standing
|
|
Unix tradition.
