Looks like this:
int status = LIB$FIND_FILE_SYMBOL(lib_file, symbol_name,
&symbol_address, dir_spec, flags);
The secret is that LIB$FIND_FILE_SYMBOL is declared as having unknown
parameters (...), so you can give it whatever you like in there. The
routine is pretty good at checking that the arguments make sense.

Doesn't help much in this case, does it ? :-)
