Link Map Identifier

The process target also accepts any of the four forms described above preceded by an optional link-map id (lmid). The lmid prefix is specified by an initial LM followed by the link-map id in hexadecimal followed by an additional back quotation mark (`). For example, the following symbol name evaluates to the value of the _init symbol in the libc.so.1 library that is loaded on link-map 0 (LM_ID_BASE):

LM0`libc.so.1`_init

The link-map specifier might be necessary to resolve symbol naming conflicts if the same library is loaded on more than one link map. For more information on link maps, refer to the Linker and Libraries Guide and the dlopen(3C) man page. Link-map identifiers are displayed when symbols are printed according to the setting of the showlmid option, as described in Summary of MDB Command-Line Options.
