SYNTAX

#include <stdio.h>

int ldahread (ldptr, arhead)
LDFILE ∗ldptr;
ARCHDR ∗arhead;

DESCRIPTION

If TYPE(ldptr) is the archive file magic number, the ldahread function reads the archive header of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory beginning at arhead. 

The ldahread function returns success or failure.  If TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file or if it cannot read the archive header, ldahread fails.
