LDSSEEK(3X)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          LDSSEEK(3X)



          NAME
               ldsseek, ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of a
               common object file

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

               int ldsseek (ldptr, sectindx)
               LDFILE *ldptr;
               unsigned short sectindx;

               int ldnsseek (ldptr, sectname)
               LDFILE *ldptr;
               char *sectname;

          DESCRIPTION
               The ldsseek function seeks to the section specified by sec-
               tindx of the common object file currently associated with
               ldptr.

               The ldnsseek function seeks to the section specified by
               sectname.

               The ldsseek and ldnsseek functions return SUCCESS or
               FAILURE.  ldsseek will fail if sectindx is greater than the
               number of sections in the object file; ldnsseek will fail if
               there is no section name corresponding with sectname.
               Either function will fail if there is no section data for
               the specified section or if it cannot seek to the specified
               section.

               Note that the first section has an index of one.

               The program must be loaded with the object file access rou-
               tine library libld.a.
