SYNTAX

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ar.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>

int ldahread (ldptr, arhead)
LDFILE *ldptr;
ARCHDR *arhead;

DESCRIPTION

If TYPE(ldptr) is the archive file magic number, ldahread reads the archive
header of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area
of memory beginning at arhead.

The ldahread subroutine returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  The ldahread subroutine
fails if TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file, or if it cannot read
the archive header.
