ldlseek(S)                     6 January 1993                     ldlseek(S)


 Name

    ldlseek, ldnlseek - seek to line number entries of a section of a common
    object file

 Syntax


    cc  . . .  -lld


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

    int ldlseek (ldptr, sectindx)
    LDFILE *ldptr;
    unsigned short sectindx;

    int ldnlseek (ldptr, sectname)
    LDFILE *ldptr;
    char *sectname;


 Description

    The ldlseek function seeks to the line number entries of the section
    specified by sectindx of the common object file currently associated with
    ldptr.

    The ldnlseek function seeks to the line number entries of the section
    specified by sectname.

    The ldlseek and ldnlseek functions return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldlseek
    fails if sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object
    file; ldnlseek fails if there is no section name corresponding with
    *sectname.  Either function fails if the specified section has no line
    number entries or if it cannot seek to the specified line number entries.

    Note that the first section has an index of one.
