LDSSEEK(3X)                                           LDSSEEK(3X)



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

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <stdio.h>
          #include <filehdr.h>
          #include <syms.h>
          #include <ldfcn.h>

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

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

     DESCRIPTION
          Ldsseek seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the
          common object file currently associated with ldptr.

          Ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.

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

          NOTE: The first section has an index of one.

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