LDSHREAD(3X) (Specialized Libraries) LDSHREAD(3X)
NAME
ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexed/named section header
of a common object file
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <scnhdr.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>
int ldshread (ldptr, sectindx, secthead)
LDFILE *ldptr;
unsigned short sectindx;
SCNHDR *secthead;
int ldnshread (ldptr, sectname, secthead)
LDFILE *ldptr;
char *sectname;
SCNHDR *secthead;
DESCRIPTION
ldshread reads the section header specified by sectindx of
the common object file currently associated with ldptr into
the area of memory beginning at secthead.
Ldnshread reads the section header specified by sectname
into the area of memory beginning at secthead.
ldshread and ldnshread return SUCCESS or FAILURE. ldshread
will fail if sectindx is greater than the number of sections
in the object file; ldnshread will fail if there is no
section name corresponding with sectname. Either function
will fail if it cannot read the specified section header.
Note that the first section header has an index of one.
The program must be loaded with the object file access
routine library libld.a.
