ldfhread(3X)                                         ldfhread(3X)



     NAME
          ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <stdio.h>
          #include <filehdr.h>
          #include <ldfcn.h>


          int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
          LDFILE *ldptr;
          FILHDR *filehead;

     DESCRIPTION
          ldfhread reads the file header of the common object file
          currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory
          beginning at filehead.

          ldfhread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldfhread fails if it
          cannot read the file header.

          In most cases the use of ldfhread can be avoided by using
          the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined in <ldfcn.h> (see ldfcn(4)).
          The information in any field, fieldname, of the file header
          may be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.

          The program must be loaded with the object file access
          routine library libld.a.
