NAME
     elfnext - sequential archive member access

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

     #include <libelf.h>

     ElfCmd elfnext(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
     elfnext, elfrand, and elfbegin manipulate  simple  object
     files  and  archives.   elf  is an ELF descriptor previously
     returned  from  elfbegin.   elfnext  provides   sequential
     access  to  the next archive member.  That is, having an ELF
     descriptor, elf, associated with an archive member, elfnext
     prepares  the  containing  archive  to  access the following
     member when the program calls elfbegin.  After successfully
     positioning an archive for the next member, elfnext returns
     the value ELFCREAD.  Otherwise, the open file was  not  an
     archive,  elf was null, or an error occurred, and the return
     value is ELFCNULL.  In either case, the return  value  may
     be  passed  as  an  argument  to  elfbegin,  specifying the
     appropriate action.
