ELFGETSHDR(3E)                                                ELFGETSHDR(3E)



NAME
     elfgetshdr: elf32getshdr, elf64getshdr - retrieve class-dependent
     section header

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

     #include <libelf.h>

     Elf32Shdr *elf32getshdr(ElfScn *scn);

     Elf64Shdr *elf32getshdr(ElfScn *scn);

DESCRIPTION
     For a 32-bit class file, elf32getshdr returns a pointer to a section
     header for the section descriptor scn.  Otherwise, the file is not a 32-
     bit class file, scn was null, or an error occurred; elf32getshdr then
     returns null.

     The header includes the following members.

                  Elf32Word      shname;
                  Elf32Word      shtype;
                  Elf32Word      shflags;
                  Elf32Addr      shaddr;
                  Elf32Off       shoffset;
                  Elf32Word      shsize;
                  Elf32Word      shlink;
                  Elf32Word      shinfo;
                  Elf32Word      shaddralign;
                  Elf32Word      shentsize;

     If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating the
     file's ELF header before creating sections.

     The 64-bit class works identically, simply replacing all instances of 32
     in the description and table with 64.
