So if 0x402661 is an address that is already in terms of the virtual addresses in the a.out file itself, you can use example code from main.cpp mentioned below.

You could compile the main.cpp into "loopup" and run the result:

lookup /home/kcc/llvm/build/a.out 0x402661

And it should do the lookup you want. Let me know if you have any questions about how and what the example code in main.cpp is doing.
