I need to extract value and size of some symbols from an ELF file, and make them available to a C program, something like nm -S /boot/kernel/kernel | grep -E "(kernload|kernbase|uscanner_devs)" Rather than using the above tools plus popen() and some parsing code, I have refactored src/usr.bin/elfdump/elfdump.c , making the main routine externally callable, returning the desired info in a struct rather than print them out. I don't know if/how other programs might need to call elfdump(), but given that the changes I made have no functional or performance drawback, I would like to commit them to the tree. Objections ? (note, the diff will be large because in the process I also removed global variables and staticize/constify things) cheers luigiReceived on Sun Jan 04 2009 - 22:37:44 UTC
