next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
libfetch contains a few utility functions which are used in several
translation units within the library, but shouldn't be exported to
libfetch consumers:
des@flood ~/FreeBSD/libfetch/libfetch$ nm libfetch.so | awk '$2 ~ /[BT]/ { print $3 }'
[...]
fetch_info
fetch_seterr
fetch_syserr
http_auth
http_base64
initialize_ftch_error_table
How can I hide these symbols so they don't pollute the consumer's
namespace? In the good old a.out days, the following would have worked
(with an appropriate libfetch.sym):
$ ld -r -o tmp.o *.o
$ symorder -c libfetch.sym tmp.o
and then create a shared library with tmp.o. But how do I do it on an
Elf system?
