ldshread(3)ldshread(3)NAME
ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexed/named section header of a common
object file
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> #include <filehdr.h> #include <scnhdr.h> #include
<syms.h> #include <ldfcn.h>
int ldshread(
LDFILE *ldptr,
unsigned short sectindx,
SCNHDR *secthead ); int ldnshread(
LDFILE *ldptr,
char *sectname,
SCNHDR *secthead );
DESCRIPTION
The ldshread() routine reads the section header specified by sectindx
of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area
of memory beginning at secthead.
The ldnshread() routine reads the section header specified by sectname
into the area of memory beginning at secthead.
Both routines return SUCCESS or FAILURE. If sectindx is greater than
the number of sections in the object file, ldshread() fails, If there
is no section name corresponding with sectname, ldnshread() fails. If
it cannot read the specified section header, either function fails.
Note: The first section header has an index of one.
The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library
libmld.a.
