Hmm, interesting. Do you need to scan some directory tree to find |
| 13 |
symbols not defined within such tree? |

Actually scanelf and symlookup have noticeable overlap of |
| 16 |
functionality. Some time ago I though about possible merge of two |
| 17 |
projects, but interfaces and functionality are somewhat different. |

Maybe common library will do the job. What actually symlookup does |
| 20 |
is tree traversing using fts and dig into each so/ar to look for |
| 21 |
user provided symbol. The devil is in details: regexps may be used, |
| 22 |
it can also find ebuild or rpm holding matched files, build map of |
| 23 |
all symbols in the system and so on. |
