Howdy, While troubleshooting some problems last week, I needed to locate the value of a symbol in the .data segment. This required me to perform the following steps:
1. Use nm to locate the symbol name and offset from .data 2. Run readelf to locate the address of the .data segment 3. Execute hexdump to dump the binary, and then locate the value by adding the values from steps 1 and 2. I was curious if there is an easier way to do this? I perused the manual pages for nm, readelf and dump, and wasn't able to locate an option to do this. Hopefully there is something like "nm -value foosymbol libfoo.so," and I missed it while reading through the manual pages. Thanks for any insight, - Ryan -- UNIX Administrator http://prefetch.net
