46 A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
47 information. For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
48 created from the ELF symbol table.
49
50 For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
51 minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
52
53 Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
54 objfiles.h for details. Code should generally treat these tables
55 as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
