elf_getshdr(3E)                                             elf_getshdr(3E)

NAME
     elfgetshdr - 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 sec-
     tion header for the section descriptor scn. Otherwise, the file is not
     a 32bit 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.
