+Similar to @code{gdb.lookup_static_symbol}, this function searches for
+global symbols with static linkage by name, and optionally restricted
+by the domain argument.  However, this function returns a list of all
+matching symbols found, not just the first one.
+
+@var{name} is the name of the symbol.  It must be a string.
+The optional @var{domain} argument restricts the search to the domain type.
+The @var{domain} argument must be a domain constant defined in the @code{gdb}
+module and described later in this chapter.
+
+The result is a list of @code{gdb.Symbol} objects which could be empty
+if no matching symbols were found.
+
+Note that this function will not find function-scoped static variables. To look
+up such variables, iterate over the variables of the function's
+@code{gdb.Block} and check that @code{block.addr_class} is
+@code{gdb.SYMBOL_LOC_STATIC}.
