Subject: The structure of __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl?

Hi all

What is the the structure of __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl ?
I mean that __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl are the section headers of ELF
format.

And how to index to the __ksymtab_strings section header from __ksymtab &
__ksymtab_gpl ?

Thx

I suggest you take a deep look at scripts/mod/modpost.c - that should help you.
I do not recall the details by heart but modpost.c is a heavy user
so it should be rather simple to dechiper it from there.
