  18 /* The Symdef member of an archive contains two things:
  19    a table that maps symbol-string offsets to file offsets,
  20    and a symbol-string table.  All the symbol names are
  21    run together (each with trailing null) in the symbol-string
  22    table.  There is a single longword bytecount on the front
  23    of each of these tables.  Thus if we have two symbols,
  24    "foo" and "_bar", that are in archive members at offsets
  25    200 and 900, it would look like this:
  26         16              ; byte count of index table
  27         0               ; offset of "foo" in string table
  28         200             ; offset of foo-module in file
  29         4               ; offset of "bar" in string table
  30         900             ; offset of bar-module in file
  31         9               ; byte count of string table
  32         "foo\0_bar\0"   ; string table  */
