elf_getbase(3E)                                      elf_getbase(3E)


       NAME
             elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . . ] file . . . -lelf [library] . . .
             #include <libelf.h>
             off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

       DESCRIPTION
             elf_getbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the
             file or archive member associated with elf, if it is known or
             obtainable, and -1 otherwise.  A null elf is allowed, to
             simplify error handling; the return value in this case is -1.
             The base offset of an archive member is the beginning of the
             member's information, not the beginning of the archive member
             header.
