elf_getshdr(3E)                                      elf_getshdr(3E)


       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_Word      sh_name;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_type;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_flags;
                          Elf32_Addr      sh_addr;
                          Elf32_Off       sh_offset;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_size;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_link;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_info;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_addralign;
                          Elf32_Word      sh_entsize;

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