ldsseek(S)                     6 January 1993                     ldsseek(S)


 Name

    ldsseek, ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of a common object
    file

 Syntax


    cc  . . .  -lld


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

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

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


 Description

    The ldsseek function seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the
    common object file currently associated with ldptr.

    The ldnsseek function seeks to the section specified by sectname.

    The ldsseek and ldnsseek functions return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldsseek
    fails if sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object
    file; ldnsseek fails if there is no section name corresponding with
    sectname.  Either function fails if there is no section data for the
    specified section or if it cannot seek to the specified section.

    Note that the first section has an index of one.
