   3 NAME
   4      Pupdate_syms - update cached symbol tables
   5 
   6 SYNOPSIS
   7      Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)


   8      #include <libproc.h>
   9 
  10      void
  11      Pupdate_syms(struct ps_prochandle *P);
  12 
  13 DESCRIPTION
  14      The Pupdate_syms() function is used to update all of the cached symbol
  15      tables in the process handle P: updating, invalidating, and caching new
  16      symbol tables as appropriate for functions such as Psymbol_iter(3PROC).
  17      This is generally called in response to activity by the run-time link-
  18      editor.  In general, the libproc library takes care of managing the need
  19      to call this function; however, debuggers, introspection tools, and
  20      others that are interposing on rtld activity may need to call this
  21      function.  Note that the Pupdate_syms() function is only meaningful for
  22      active processes.  It will do nothing on process handles that refer to
  23      core files, zombie processes, and ELF objects.
