     * added to control symbol visibility in the RAP file. For example an
     * "application" may be self contained and does not need to export any
     * symbols therefore no symbols are added and the only ones are part of the
     * relocation records to bind to base image symbols. Another case is the
     * need for an application to export symbols because it is using dlopen to
     * load modules. Here the symbols maybe 'all' or it could be a user
     * maintained list that are exported.
     *
     * @param app The application image to write too.
     * @param init The application's initialisation entry point.
     * @param fini The application's finish entry point .
     * @param objects The list of object files in the application.
     * @param symbols The symbol table used to create the application.
