SS20/SunOS4.1.4 - Finding dynamically linked functions w i thout source code
There were some many...
However, most responded with the command ldd and nm. Some suggested looking
for the Sun
Linker and Library manual. Thanks for the information...
However, I would like to point out that there was one individual that dealt
me quite a bit of
sarcasm that was uninvited. The purpose of this list is to exchange ideas
and help each other.
You may be strong in a certain area that I am not and vice-versa. Sometimes
there will be posts
where the answer is trivial and because of a mental block, the person asking
the question cannot readily see the trivial answer. Furthermore, sometimes
by posting a seemingly
trivial question you might be able to find a new solution. For instance,
what if someone had a question
similar to mine and developed in-house utilities that could be used to solve
it?
All of this assumes that you have first checked the Sun Manager's archive,
which I stated that
I had checked.
To the many who responded with kind and courteous replies Thanks. You are
what make this list great!!
To the one individual who thought enough of my post to take time out of
their busy day to share sarcasm with me,
please, I don't want your sarcasm. Leave it at home or with someone who
appreciates it. I don't!
Jim :)
