What is the purpose of .dynsym section in executable I see that it is allocable to strip won't remove it. So, how does dynamic linker loader interprets it?

  • This does not quite explain how it is interpreted. – username_4567 Jun 20 '16 at 13:30
  • "When searching for a symbol the dynamic linker looks through the dynamic symbol table .dynsym, so all symbols present there are usable by other programs (in other words: exported and in case of a library, part of the ABI)." from here https://greek0.net/elf.html – Fausto Carvalho Marques Silva Jun 20 '16 at 13:41
