44 A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
45 information. For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
46 created from the ELF symbol table.
48 For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
49 minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
51 Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
52 objfiles.h for details. Code should generally treat these tables
53 as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
