"ar t" gives a list of the objects in libc.a.  Any of these may
contain several functions, and the name of the object is not necessarily
the same as that of any of the functions it contains.  "nm" is a better bet.

I prefer to look at the lint library sources (/usr/lib/llib-l*.c
or /usr/lib/lint/*.c or something similar).  This provides the calling
conventions, too.
