185 This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
186 user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
187 Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
188 symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
189 file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
190 fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
193 Note that NLM files have two sets of information that is potentially
194 useful for building gdb's minimal symbol table. The first is a list
195 of the publically exported symbols, and is currently used to build
196 bfd's canonical symbol table. The second is an optional native debugging
197 format which contains additional symbols (and possibly duplicates of
198 the publically exported symbols). The optional native debugging format
199 is not currently used. */
