stupid shell script that tries to find a specific symbol in libs.

sym.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash                                    
# runs through your ld paths and looks for a symbol    
# passed as the first argument                         
#                                                      
# example:                                             
#                                                      
# $ ./lz.findsymbol.sh xcb_big_requests_id             
#   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.a               
#   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.a                 
                                                       
symbol=$1

      done
