NAME
     demangle, cplusdemangle - decode a C] encoded symbol name

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file[ library ... ]  -ldemangle

     #include 



     int cplusdemangle(const char *symbol, char *prototype, sizet size);


DESCRIPTION
     The cplusdemangle()  function  decodes  (demangles)  a  C]
     linker symbol name (mangled name)  into a (partial) C] pro-
     totype, if possible.   C] mangled names may not have enough
     information to form a complete prototype.


     The  symbol string argument  points  to  the  input  mangled
     name.


     The prototype argument points  to  a  user-specified  output
     string buffer, of size bytes.


     The  cplusdemangle() function  operates  on  mangled  names
     generated by  SPARCompilers C] 3.0.1, 4.0.1, 4.1 and 4.2.


     The cplusdemangle()  function  improves  and  replaces  the
     demangle() function.


     Refer to the C.1, dem.1, and c]filt.1 manual pages in  the
     /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1  directory.   These  pages  are  only
     available with the SPROcc package.

RETURN VALUES
     The cplusdemangle() function returns the following values:

     0                  The symbol argument is  a  valid  mangled
                        name  and  prototype contains a (partial)
                        prototype for the symbol.


     DEMANGLENAME     The symbol argument is not a  valid  man-
                        gled name and the content of prototype is
                        a copy of the symbol.

     DEMANGLESPACE    The prototype output buffer is too  small
                        to contain the prototype (or the symbol),
                        and the content  of  prototype  is  unde-
                        fined.
