ldahread(3X)                                         ldahread(3X)



     NAME
          ldahread - read the archive header of a member of an archive
          file

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

          int ldahread(ldptr,arhead)
          LDFILE *ldptr;
          ARCHDR *arhead;

     DESCRIPTION
          If TYPE(ldptr) is the archive file magic number, ldahread
          reads the archive header of the common object file currently
          associated with ldptr into the area of memory beginning at
          arhead.

          Programs using this routine should be loaded with the object
          file access library libld.a.

     RETURN VALUE
          ldahread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldahread fails if
          TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file or if it can-
          not read the archive header.
