elf_getbase(3E)           UNIX System V(ELF Library)            elf_getbase(3E)


NAME
      elfgetbase - get the base offset for an object file

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

      #include <libelf.h>
      offt elfgetbase(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
      elfgetbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or
      archive member associated with elf, if it is known or obtainable, and -1
      otherwise.  A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return
      value in this case is -1.  The base offset of an archive member is the
      beginning of the member's information, not the beginning of the archive
      member header.
