ELFNEXT(3E)                                                      ELFNEXT(3E)



NAME
     elfnext - sequential archive member access

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

     #include <libelf.h>

     ElfCmd elfnext(Elf *elf);


DESCRIPTION

     elfnext, elfrand, and elfbegin manipulate simple object files and

     archives.  elf is an ELF descriptor previously returned from elfbegin.


     elfnext provides sequential access to the next archive member.  That is,

     having an ELF descriptor, elf, associated with an archive member,

     elfnext prepares the containing archive to access the following member

     when the program calls elfbegin.  After successfully positioning an

     archive for the next member, elfnext returns the value ELFCREAD.

     Otherwise, the open file was not an archive, elf was null, or an error

     occurred, and the return value is ELFCNULL.  In either case, the return

     value may be passed as an argument to elfbegin, specifying the

     appropriate action.
