 Name

    ldahread - read the archive header of a member of an archive file

 Syntax


    cc  . . .  -lld


    #include <filehdr.h>
    #include <ldfcn.h>

    int ldahread (ldptr, arhead)
    LDFILE *ldptr;
    ARCHDR *arhead;


 Description

    If TYPE(ldptr) is the archive file magic number, ldahread reads the
    archive header of the common object file currently associated with ldptr
    into the area of memory beginning at arhead.

    ldahread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldahread fails if TYPE(ldptr) does
    not represent an archive file, or if it cannot read the archive header.
