On Linux with the GNU toolchain, I know how to control exported symbols from a shared library with a version script (gcc -Wl,--version-script=symbols.map), but I would like to list exported symbols on the command line instead. IOW, I would like the equivalent of

link /EXPORT:foo

from the MS toolchain. Is it possible ?

EDIT:

My question may not be very clearn: if I have a library libfoo.so, and I want to only export libraries foo1 and foo2, I can go create a version script foo.linux as follows

libfoo.so
{
global:
    foo1;
    foo2;
local:
    *;
}

And do

gcc -shared foo.c -Wl,--version-script=foo.linux -o libfoo.so -soname libfoo.so

I would like to be able to do something like this instead:

gcc -shared foo.c -Wl,--export-symbol=foo1 -Wl,--export-symbol=foo2 -o libfoo.so -soname libfoo.so
