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.

ldahread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldahread will fail if TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file, or if it cannot read the archive header. 

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