LDSSEEK(3X) (Specialized Libraries) 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
ldsseek seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the
common object file currently associated with ldptr.
Ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.
ldsseek and ldnsseek 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
routine library libld.a.
