61 A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug

63 created from the ELF symbol table.
65 For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
66 minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
68 Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
69 objfiles.h for details. Code should generally treat these tables
70 as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
