LDSSEEK(S) UNIX System V LDSSEEK(S)
Name
ldsseek, ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of a
common object file
Syntax
#include <stdio.h>
#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 will fail if sectindx is greater than the
number of sections in the object file; ldnsseek will fail if
there is no section name corresponding with sectname.
Either function will fail 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.
The program must be loaded with the -lld flag.
