CoreSymbolication
-----------------

Here are the reverse engineered headers for Apples CoreSymbolication private
framework.

I've created these so that I can build dtrace from source; I'm using dtrace-90
(from Apples open source site).  If you want to do the same you'll just need
to add the path to the header files into the dtrace projects "Header search
path"

Turns out though that this is a great symbol api.  If you've ever needed to
get symbols from files/processes/kernel this makes it so much easier.  You can
see all the symbols, get the ranges for them and even extract the instruction
bytes.  Yes, you never need worry again about parsing mach-o symbol tables.

Its not complete at the moment, I've just done the methods needed to compile
dtrace; but most of the other methods should be pretty easy to guess the
prototypes for as they're all pretty uniform.

Enjoy!
