ldfhread(3X)                     DG/UX 5.4.2                    ldfhread(3X)


NAME
       ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file

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

       int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
       LDFILE *ldptr;
       FILHDR *filehead;

DESCRIPTION
       Ldfhread reads the file header of the common object file currently
       associated with ldptr into the area of memory beginning at filehead.

       Ldfhread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  Ldfhread will fail if it cannot
       read the file header.

       In most cases you can avoid using ldfhread by using the macro
       HEADER(ldptr) defined in ldfcn.h (see ldfcn(4)).  The information in
       any field fieldname of the file header may be accessed using
       HEADER(ldptr).fieldname or HEADER(ldptr).sectionname.fieldname (for a
       field within a section descriptor).

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