    Lightbulb list dll library functions signature at runtime

    Hi All,
    I want to know how to list the all the symbols in the shared library(dll or .so file).
    I dont want commands like nm or objdump or depends.exe .
    I want to get the list of functions available in shared library programmatically at runtime (after calling loadlibrary/dlopen and GetProcAddress/dlsym).
    Is there a way to get the complete signature of functions in a shared library??

    Please help.

    Regards
    nrhayyal

    For Windows I have successfully used the information/code found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301808.aspx

    For Linux I don't know but from googling and getting this page http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ary-so-438693/ I would start by reading the source for nm, readelf & objdump
    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.
