NAME
       elf_version() - coordinate ELF library and application versions

SYNOPSIS
       Command: [flag]... file... [library]...

DESCRIPTION
       As  elf(3E) explains, the program, the library, and an object file have
       independent notions of the "latest" ELF version.	 lets a program deter‐
       mine  the ELF library's It further lets the program specify what memory
       types it uses by giving its own ver, to	the  library.	Every  program
       that uses the ELF library must coordinate versions as described below.

       The  header  file supplies the version to the program with the macro If
       the library's internal  version	(the  highest  version	known  to  the
       library)	 is  lower  than that known by the program itself, the library
       may lack semantic knowledge assumed by the program.  Accordingly,  will
       not accept a working version unknown to the library.

       Passing a ver equal to causes to return the library's internal version,
       without altering the working version.  If ver is a version known to the
       library,	 returns  the  previous	 (or  initial) working version number.
       Otherwise, the working version remains unchanged and returns

EXAMPLES
       The following excerpt from an application program protects itself  from
       using an older library.

	      if (elf_version(EV_CURRENT) == EV_NONE)
	      {
		  /* library out of date */
		  /* recover from error */
	      }

WARNINGS
       The working version should be the same for all operations on a particu‐
       lar ELF descriptor.  Changing  the  version  between  operations	 on  a
       descriptor will probably not give the expected results.
