  24 A file symbol table corresponds to the global scope for a source file.
  25 It contains procedure symbols and global variable symbols with static
  26 linkage, as well as types that are only used within the file.  Each file
  27 symbol table is associated with a particular file set entry.  See section <A HREF="suif1_9.html#SEC9">File Set Entries</A>.

  33 The <CODE>file_symtab</CODE> class is derived from the <CODE>global_symtab</CODE>
  34 class to implement the file symbol tables.  Besides the features that
  35 this class inherits from its base class, it also contains a field to
  36 record the file set entry with which it is associated.  This field is
  37 set automatically when the file symbol table is created by the file set
  38 entry.  The <CODE>fse</CODE> method retrieves the value of this field.
