Getting symbol names from an ELF file

Hi All,

I am looking for a way to retrieve all the symbol names from a relocatable ELF file. I believe that all the names are stored in the string table, but I do not know exactly how to get the offset starting from where all symbol names will get stored.

Thanks,
