Linux equivalent of dumpbin /exports filename.dll ?

[Alex Maynard]

Hello All,

I know very little about libraries, so I apologize if this
this turns out to be a very basic question.

I was wondering if any one happens to know the linux equivalent of
the following command in windows, used to find the function names in a
shared library?:

dumpbin /exports filename.dll

The problem I'm having is that I have compiled a function to a .so
file (using a unix matlab compiler) but have trouble calling it from a
second application (Gauss). I found a posting on the web indicating that such
functions are often given different names by compilers (the compilers
append extra info. to the original name). So to call the function, I need to
find out its new name. I found some instructions for doing this in MSDos
at:
http://www.eco.utexas.edu/cgi-bin/http2gophermail?server=gopher.eco.utexas.edu&request=R97754-102253-/mailing/gaussians.archive.1997
which suggest using the dos command: dumpbin /exports filename.dll but
haven't figured out how to translate this into linux.

Cheers,

Alex
