<h3 class="section">E.15 Library List Format for SVR4 Targets</h3>
<p><a name="index-library-list-format_002c-remote-protocol-3632"></a>
On SVR4 platforms <span class="sc">gdb</span> can use the symbol table of a dynamic loader
(e.g. <samp><span class="file">ld.so</span></samp>) and normal memory operations to maintain a list of
shared libraries. Still a special library list provided by this packet is
more efficient for the <span class="sc">gdb</span> remote protocol.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">qXfer:libraries-svr4:read</span></samp>&rsquo; packet returns an XML document which lists
loaded libraries and their SVR4 linker parameters. For each library on SVR4
target, the following parameters are reported:
<ul>
<li><code>name</code>, the absolute file name from the <code>l_name</code> field of
<code>struct link_map</code>.
<li><code>lm</code> with address of <code>struct link_map</code> used for TLS
(Thread Local Storage) access.
<li><code>l_addr</code>, the displacement as read from the field <code>l_addr</code> of
<code>struct link_map</code>. For prelinked libraries this is not an absolute
memory address. It is a displacement of absolute memory address against
address the file was prelinked to during the library load.
<li><code>l_ld</code>, which is memory address of the <code>PT_DYNAMIC</code> segment
</ul>
<p>Additionally the single <code>main-lm</code> attribute specifies address of
<code>struct link_map</code> used for the main executable. This parameter is used
for TLS access and its presence is optional.
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> must be linked with the Expat library to support XML
SVR4 library lists. See <a href="Expat.html#Expat">Expat</a>.
<p>A simple memory map, with two loaded libraries (which do not use prelink),
looks like this:
<pre class="smallexample"> &lt;library-list-svr4 version="1.0" main-lm="0xe4f8f8"&gt;
&lt;library name="/lib/ld-linux.so.2" lm="0xe4f51c" l_addr="0xe2d000"
l_ld="0xe4eefc"/&gt;
&lt;library name="/lib/libc.so.6" lm="0xe4fbe8" l_addr="0x154000"
l_ld="0x152350"/&gt;
&lt;/library-list-svr&gt;
</pre>
<p>The format of an SVR4 library list is described by this DTD:
<pre class="smallexample"> &lt;!-- library-list-svr4: Root element with versioning --&gt;
&lt;!ELEMENT library-list-svr4 (library)*&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST library-list-svr4 version CDATA #FIXED "1.0"&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST library-list-svr4 main-lm CDATA #IMPLIED&gt;
&lt;!ELEMENT library EMPTY&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST library name CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST library lm CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST library l_addr CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST library l_ld CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
</pre>
