elf_next(3E)                                                   elf_next(3E)

NAME
     elfnext - access archive member sequentially

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

     #include <libelf.h>

     ElfCmd elfnext(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
     elfnext(), elfrand(), and elfbegin() manipulate simple object files
     and archives. elf is an ELF descriptor previously returned from
     elfbegin().

     elfnext() provides sequential access to the next archive member. That
     is, having an ELF descriptor, elf, associated with an archive member,
     elfnext() prepares the containing archive to access the following
     member when the program calls elfbegin(). After successfully posi-
     tioning an archive for the next member, elfnext() returns the value
     ELFCREAD. Otherwise, the open file was not an archive, elf was null,
     or an error occurred, and the return value is ELFCNULL. In either
     case, the return value may be passed as an argument to elfbegin(),
     specifying the appropriate action.
