 * getsection.h
 *
 * DSP-BIOS Bridge driver support functions for TI OMAP processors.
 *
 * This file provides an API add-on to the dynamic loader that allows the user
 * to query section information and extract section data from dynamic load
 * modules.
 *
 * Notes:
 *   Functions in this API assume that the supplied dynamic_loader_stream
 *   object supports the set_file_posn method.

 * Procedure dload_module_open
 *
 * Parameters:
 *  module  The input stream that supplies the module image
 *  syms    Host-side malloc/free and error reporting functions.
 *          Other methods are unused.
 *
 * Effect:
 *  Reads header information from a dynamic loader module using the specified
 * stream object, and returns a handle for the module information.  This
 * handle may be used in subsequent query calls to obtain information
 * contained in the module.
 *
 * Returns:
 *  NULL if an error is encountered, otherwise a module handle for use
 * in subsequent operations.
