ELF_FILL(3ELF)							ELF_FILL(3ELF)

NAME
       elf_fill - set fill byte

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lelf [ library ... ]
       #include <libelf.h>

       void elf_fill(int fill);

DESCRIPTION
       Alignment  constraints  for ELF files sometimes require the presence of
       ``holes.'' For example, if the data for one  section  are  required  to
       begin  on  an  eight-byte  boundary,  but  the preceding section is too
       ``short,'' the library must fill the intervening bytes. These bytes are
       set  to	the  fill  character.  The  library uses zero bytes unless the
       application supplies a value.  See elf_getdata(3ELF) for more  informa‐
       tion about these holes.

NOTES
       An application can assume control of the object	file  organization  by
       setting	the  ELF_F_LAYOUT  bit	(see elf_flagdata(3ELF)). When this is
       done, the library does not fill holes.
