The functions which are available in the header file are "INLINE"
functions. However, there are few functions, which are available in
the C files, also not able to see in the output of the "nm" command.
Is there any idea?

Inlined functions are not visible in the output of the "nm" command.
Is this known behaviour?

Thanks for your information.

Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi M.
