elf_getbase(3E)                                             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.

     elf(3E), elfbegin(3E), ar(4).
