ldsseek(3X)                                           ldsseek(3X)



NAME
     ldsseek, ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of an
     object file

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

     int ldsseek (ldptr, sectindx)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     unsigned short sectindx;

     int ldnsseek (ldptr, sectname)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     char *sectname;

DESCRIPTION
     ldsseek seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the
     common object file currently associated with ldptr.

     Ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.

     ldsseek and ldnsseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldsseek
     will fail if sectindx is greater than the number of sections
     in the object file; ldnsseek will fail if there is no sec-
     tion name corresponding with sectname.  Either function will
     fail if there is no section data for the specified section
     or if it cannot seek to the specified section.

     Note that the first section has an index of one.

     The program must be loaded with the object file access rou-
     tine library libld.a.
