How do I create a symbols file?



lintian -I says I should create a symbols file.

But Debian Library Packaging guide nor Debian New Maintainers' Guide
tells me exactly how to create such a file or how to name it.

Neither does UsingSymbolsFiles
http://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles
it just says be carefull about it!

I am packaging this library for the first time and I am probably the first to 
build it with libtool. So I probably don't have to worry about previous 
versions. But some day my work will be the previous version, so I want to do 
this correctly.

The .c files proably have some global symbols that are not in the public 
interface. The inteface includes global varriables. (I did not write this 
program.)

What should I do?
