elf_getshdr(3E)                (ELF Library)                elf_getshdr(3E)


   NAME
         elfgetshdr: elf32getshdr - retrieve class-dependent section header

   SYNOPSIS
         cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

         #include <libelf.h>
         Elf32Shdr *elf32getshdr(ElfScn *scn);

   DESCRIPTION
         For a 32-bit class file, elf32getshdr returns a pointer to a section
         header for the section descriptor scn.  Otherwise, the file is not a
         32-bit class file, scn was null, or an error occurred; elf32getshdr
         then returns null.

         The header includes the following members.

                      Elf32Word      shname;
                      Elf32Word      shtype;
                      Elf32Word      shflags;
                      Elf32Addr      shaddr;
                      Elf32Off       shoffset;
                      Elf32Word      shsize;
                      Elf32Word      shlink;
                      Elf32Word      shinfo;
                      Elf32Word      shaddralign;
                      Elf32Word      shentsize;

         If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating
         the file's ELF header before creating sections.
