		Shared Library Management Routines
		The shl_load Shared Library Management Routines
Syntax
int shl_get( int index,
	struct shl_descriptor **desc )
Parameters
index	Specifies an ordinal number of the shared library in the
	process. For libraries loaded implicitly (at startup
	time), index is the ordinal number of the library as it
	appeared on the command line. For example, if libc
	was the first library specified on the ld command line,
	then libc has an index of 1. For explicitly loaded
	libraries, index corresponds to the order in which the
	libraries were loaded, starting after the ordinal
	number of the last implicitly loaded library. Two index
	values have special meaning:
	0	Refers to the main program itself
	−1	Refers to the dynamic loader
		(dld.sl).
	A shared library's index can be modified during
	program execution by either of the following events:
	• The program loads a shared library with the
	BIND_FIRST modifier to shl_load. This
	increments all the shared library indexes by one.
	• The program unloads a shared library with
	shl_unload. Any libraries following the unloaded
	library have their index decremented by one.
desc	Returns a pointer to a statically allocated buffer
	(struct shl_descriptor **) containing a shared
	library descriptor. The structure contains these
	important fields:
	tstart	The start address (unsigned long)
		of the shared library text segment.
	tend	The end address (unsigned long) of
		the shared library text segment.
	dstart	The start address (unsigned long)
		of the shared library data segment.
