  67
  68    A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
  69    information.  For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
  70    created from the ELF symbol table.
  71
  72    For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
  73    minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
  74
  75    Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
  76    objfiles.h for details.  Code should generally treat these tables
  77    as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
