Symbol table information from GNAT compiled files

Symbol table information from GNAT compiled files

[Marin David Condic, 561.796.8997, M/S 731-96]

    Maybe someone here can help me find a source for the information I
    need:

    I've got to find the format for symbol table information for
    executable images built from GNAT compiled objects and linked for
    Sun/Unix and/or WindowsNT. What I need to do is find the address
    of any given object (or procedure, etc.) within a linked image.
    (My application is not unlike that of a debugger - referencing
    things within an executing image. My platform will be both
    Sun/Unix and WindowsNT so I'll have to be able to find this info
    for both types of file formats.)

    If anybody knows where I might be able to find reference sources
    that document what these files look like, I'd appreciate hearing
    about it. Thanks.

isn't 'nm' sufficient ?
