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.
