List of Executable Program Creation Subroutines

The list of executable program creation services consists of subroutines that support a group of commands. These commands and subroutines allow you to create, compile, and work with files in order to make your programs run.

_end, _text, _edata Defines the last location of a program.
confstr Determines the current value of a specified system variable defined as a string.
getopt Gets flag letters from the argument vector.
, ldaopen Open a common object file.
ldclose, ldaclose Close a common object file.
ldahread Reads the archive header of a member of an archive file.
ldfhread Reads the file header of a common object file.
ldlread, ldlinit, ldlitem Read and manipulate line number entries of a common object file function.
ldshread, ldnshread Read a section header of a common object file.
ldtbread Reads a symbol table entry of a common object file.
ldgetname Retrieves a symbol name from a symbol table entry or from the string table.
ldlseek or ldnseek Seeks to line number entries of a section of a common object file.
ldohseek Seeks to the optional file header of a common object file.
ldrseek, ldnrseek Seeks to the relocation information for a section of a common object file.
ldsseek, ldnsseek Seeks to a section of a common object file.
ldtbseek Seeks to the symbol table of a common object file.
ldtbindex Returns the index of a particular common object file symbol table entry.
load Loads and binds an object module into the current process.
unload Unloads an object file.
loadbind Provides specific runtime resolution of a module's deferred symbols.
loadquery Returns error information from the load subroutine or the exec subroutine. Also provides a list of object files loaded for the current process.
monitor Starts and stops execution profiling.
nlist Gets entries from a name list.
regcmp or regex Compiles and matches regular-expression patterns.
setjmp, longjmp Stores a location.
sgetl, sputl Accesses long numeric data in a machine-independent fashion.
