get-entry-point

Arguments: name

This function returns two values. The first is the entry point for name, which must be a string. nil is returned if name does not have an entry point.

The second returned value is the handle of the .so/.sl/.dll/.dylib library in which the symbol was found.

For example, "aclmalloc" is the name of the C function called by aclmalloc. Using this function, we find its entry point is 1872778976 and the handle of its library is 4. Using get-shared-library-handle and get-shared-library-name, we find it is in the Allegro CL shared library called (on this machine and in this run) "libacli61pf4.so" (the name you see will be different).
