ldshread(3X)            LIBRARY FUNCTIONS            ldshread(3X)



NAME
     ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexed/named  section  header
     of a common object file

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

     int ldshread (ldptr, sectindx, secthead)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     unsigned short sectindx;
     SCNHDR *secthead;

     int ldnshread (ldptr, sectname, secthead)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     char *sectname;
     SCNHDR *secthead;

DESCRIPTION
     Ldshread reads the section header specified by  sectindx  of
     the  common object file currently associated with ldptr into
     the area of memory beginning at secthead.

     Ldnshread reads the section  header  specified  by  sectname
     into the area of memory beginning at secthead.

     Ldshread and ldnshread return SUCCESS or FAILURE.   If  sec-
     tindx  is  greater than the number of sections in the object
     file,  ldshread  fails;  If  there  is   no   section   name
     corresponding  with sectname, ldnshread fails.  If it cannot
     read the specified section header, either function fails.

     NOTE: The first section header has an index of one.

     The program must be loaded with the object file access  rou-
     tine library libmld.a.
