ELF_END(3E)							   ELF_END(3E)

NAME
     elf_end - finish using an object file

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

     #include <libelf.h>
     int elf_end(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
     A program uses elf_end to terminate an ELF descriptor, elf, and to
     deallocate data associated with the descriptor.  Until the program
     terminates a descriptor, the data remain allocated.  elf should be a
     value previously returned by elf_begin; a null pointer is allowed as an
     argument, to simplify error handling.  If the program wishes to write
     data associated with the ELF descriptor to the file, it must use
     elf_update before calling elf_end.

     As elf_begin(3E) explains, a descriptor can have more than one
     activation.  Calling elf_end removes one activation and returns the
     remaining activation count.  The library does not terminate the
     descriptor until the activation count reaches zero.  Consequently, a zero
     return value indicates the ELF descriptor is no longer valid.
