All,

I am looking for some functions that will read XCOFF files. On Solaris
the Gelf_* functions allow reading of various files under the /proc
directory. I need similar functionality under AIX.

I have read and understand the XCOFF file formats as compared to the
ELF formats of Solaris. I will write a new library if need be but I
would rather reuse some existing code.

As a side note, does anyone understand how to use the /proc/pid/as
file to obtain a handle to the frame ptr and stack ptr in AIX? I have
it working in Solaris but the registers and stack structure are
different in AIX.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what Gelf_* does, but you might try libld (ldopen, etc)
