LDAHREAD(3X)                                         LDAHREAD(3X)



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

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <stdio.h>
          #include <ar.h>
          #include <filehdr.h>
          #include <syms.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.  If TYPE(ldptr) does
          not represent an archive file or if it cannot read the
          archive header, Ldahread fails.

          The program must be loaded with the object file access
          routine library libmld.a.
