[comp.sys.sgi] What is "pseudorgb

loki@physics.mcgill.ca (Loki Jorgenson Rm421) (09/08/90)

	Hey ho....

	I have been fruitlessly searching man pages, libraries, include
files and source code trying to find out what "pseudorgb()" does.  I have
discovered that one needs -lgutil to resolve it but "ar -t libgutil.a"
does not show it in the table of contents.

	Can anyone enlighten me as to what it is and why I can't find it,
either in references or in libraries?

Thanks,

I can't tell you what it does, but I can shed some light on why
"ar -t libgutil.a" didn't find it.  "ar -t" only lists object files,
but a single object file may contain several routines.

Use "nm" to tell you what symbols an object file or library defines
and references.
