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


NAME
      elfgetshdr: elf32getshdr - retrieve class-dependent section header

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

      #include <libelf.h>
      Elf32Shdr *elf32getshdr(ElfScn *scn);

DESCRIPTION
      For a 32-bit class file, elf32getshdr returns a pointer to a section
      header for the section descriptor scn.  Otherwise, the file is not a 32-
      bit class file, scn was null, or an error occurred; elf32getshdr then
      returns null.

      The header includes the following members.

                   Elf32Word      shname;
                   Elf32Word      shtype;
                   Elf32Word      shflags;
                   Elf32Addr      shaddr;
                   Elf32Off       shoffset;
                   Elf32Word      shsize;
                   Elf32Word      shlink;
                   Elf32Word      shinfo;
                   Elf32Word      shaddralign;
                   Elf32Word      shentsize;

      If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating the
      file's ELF header before creating sections.
