elf_getarhdr(3ELF)	     ELF Library Functions	    elf_getarhdr(3ELF)

NAME
       elf_getarhdr - retrieve archive member header

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

       Elf_Arhdr *elf_getarhdr(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
       elf_getarhdr() returns a pointer to an archive member header, if one is
       available for the ELF descriptor	 elf.  Otherwise,  no  archive	member
       header  exists, an error occurred, or elf was null; elf_getarhdr() then
       returns a null value. The header includes the following members.

	 char *ar_name;
	 time_t	   ar_date;
	 uid_t	   ar_uid;
	 gid_t	   ar_gid;
	 mode_t	   ar_mode;
	 off_t	   ar_size;
	 char *ar_rawname;

       An archive member name, available through ar_name, is a null-terminated
       string,	with  the ar format control characters removed. The ar_rawname
       member holds a null-terminated string that represents the original name
       bytes  in the file, including the terminating slash and trailing blanks
       as specified in the archive format.

       In addition to ``regular'' archive members, the archive format  defines
       some  special members. All special member names begin with a slash (/),
       distinguishing them from regular members (whose names may not contain a
       slash). These special members have the names (ar_name) defined below.

       /     This  is  the  archive  symbol  table. If present, it will be the
	     first archive member. A program may access the archive symbol ta‐
	     ble  through  elf_getarsym(). The information in the symbol table
	     is useful	for  random  archive  processing  (see	elf_rand()  on
	     elf_begin(3ELF)).

       //    This  member,  if	present, holds a string table for long archive
	     member names. An archive member's header contains a 16-byte  area
	     for  the  name,  which  may be exceeded in some file systems. The
	     library automatically retrieves long member names from the string
	     table, setting ar_name to the appropriate value.

       Under  some  error  conditions, a member's name might not be available.
       Although this causes the library to set ar_name to a null pointer,  the
       ar_rawname member will be set as usual.
