# symbol.h

Basic functions to define and resolve symbols.

#### `symbol_type_E` - enum
- **Function**
- **Variable**
- **Unknown**

#### `symbol_T` - struct

| Name    | Type          | Description                                                                         |
|---------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| name    | string_t      | The name of the symbol (e.g. the name of the kernels entry symbol would be `_start` |
| type    | symbol_type_E | The symbols type (elf types like `File` are of type `Unknown`)                      |
| address | uint64_t      | The symbols address                                                                 |

#### `symbol_resolve_from_name(symbols, num_symbols, name);` - function (symbol_T*)
This searches **_symbols_** for a symbol with a matching **_name_**.

#### `symbol_resolve_from_rip(symbols, num_symbols, rip);` - function (symbol_T*)
Give it a list of **_symbols_** and an instruction pointer (**_rip_**) and it will return the symbol (function), where **_rip_** lays in.
