Re: [ILUG] Guess the library

well - because grep doesn't show anything. I tried

grep functionname /lib/*

and it showed up nothing. I tried

grep cos /lib/libm.a

and it also showed nothing so presumable the symbols have been stripped
from the libs which is okay because grepping binarys for text sounds like
the wrong way to do it even if it does work
