NAME

elf_getshdr: elf32_getshdr − retrieve class-dependent section header

SYNOPSIS

cc [flag ...] file ... −lelf [library ...]

#include <libelf.h>
Elf32_Shdr ∗elf32_getshdr(Elf_Scn ∗scn);

DESCRIPTION

For a 32-bit class file, elf32_getshdr returns a pointer to a section header for the section descriptor scn. Otherwise, the file is not a 32-bit class file, scn was null, or an error occurred; elf32_getshdr then returns NULL. 

The header includes the following members. 

Elf32_Wordsh_name;
Elf32_Wordsh_type;
Elf32_Wordsh_flags;
Elf32_Addrsh_addr;
Elf32_Offsh_offset;
Elf32_Wordsh_size;
Elf32_Wordsh_link;
Elf32_Wordsh_info;
Elf32_Wordsh_addralign;
Elf32_Wordsh_entsize;

If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating the file’s ELF header before creating sections.
