+The LLVM symbol table has the special name "#_LLVM_SYM_TAB_#". It is presumed
+that no regular archive member file will want this name. The LLVM symbol table
+is simply composed of a sequence of triplets: byte offset, length of symbol,
+and the symbol itself. Symbols are not null or newline terminated. Here are
+the details on each of these items:
+

+
+=item offset - vbr encoded 32-bit integer
+
+The offset item provides the offset into the archive file where the bytecode
+member is stored that is associated with the symbol. The offset value is 0
+based at the start of the first "normal" file member. To derive the actual
+file offset of the member, you must add the number of bytes occupied by the file
+signature (8 bytes) and the symbol tables. The value of this item is encoded
+using variable bit rate encoding to reduce the size of the symbol table.
+Variable bit rate encoding uses the high bit (0x80) of each byte to indicate
+if there are more bytes to follow. The remaining 7 bits in each byte carry bits
+from the value. The final byte does not have the high bit set.
+
+=item length - vbr encoded 32-bit integer
+
+The length item provides the length of the symbol that follows. Like this
+I<offset> item, the length is variable bit rate encoded.
+
+=item symbol - character array
+
+The symbol item provides the text of the symbol that is associated with the
+I<offset>. The symbol is not terminated by any character. Its length is provided
+by the I<length> field. Note that is allowed (but unwise) to use non-printing
+characters (even 0x00) in the symbol. This allows for multiple encodings of
+symbol names.
