You can also use nm:

                    case "`uname`" in
                        IRIX*)
                            nm -B "$libpath" | sed "s#^#$libpath:#"
                            ;;
                        SunOS|OSF1)
                            # here we're munging Sun format around into linux
                            # format
                            nm -P "$libpath" | awk ' { print $3,$2,$1 } ' | \
                                sed "s#^#$libpath:#"
                            ;;
                        Linux|DragonFly)
                            nm -o "$libpath"
                            ;;
                        AIX)
                            #AIX: .popen               T     0430424        14
                            # -X bits specifies the bitwidth for the library
                            # -p says don't sort - Much faster
                            nm -X 32 -p -o "$libpath" | awk ' { print
$3,$2,$1 } ' | \
                                sed "s#^#$libpath:#"
                            nm -X 64 -p -o "$libpath" | awk ' { print
$3,$2,$1 } ' | \
                                sed "s#^#$libpath:#"
                            ;;
                    esac
