NAME
     ldahread - reads 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.

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     The ldahread program returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldahread
     fails if TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file or
     if it cannot read the archive header.
