NAME

findsym - search through all system shared libraries for a specific symbol

SYNOPSIS

findsym [options] <symbol>...

DESCRIPTION

findsym - search through all system shared libraries for a specific symbol.

This program will attempt to search through all system shared libraries for a specific symbol. This is useful when trying to compile something and the compiler complains about an undefined reference similar to this:

/tmp/ccabcdef.o(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `foo'

Running `findsym' would try to locate the symbol foo and indicate what library you should be linking with.

OPTIONS

-C, --demangle[=style]

demangle symbol names;

-V, --version

print program version and exit;

-h, --help

show this text and exit.
