Symbol names in API calls

The abbreviated names used in binder and AMBLIST listings are solely for readability purposes. The full (non-abbreviated) name must be used in binder API calls in section or symbol names in the API parameter lists.

The names which appear in binder and AMBLIST output listings as $PRIVxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is a hexadecimal number, are printable representations of binder-generated names. The actual names are fullword binary integers (for which xxxxxx is the hexadecimal equivalent). The fullword integer must be used in binder API calls.

Similarly, symbol names in GETD, GETE, or GETN buffers are always the true internal names (not abbreviated, and fullword integers if they are generated names).
