LDAHREAD(3X-SysV)   RISC/os Reference Manual    LDAHREAD(3X-SysV)



NAME
     ldahread - read the archive header of a member of an archive
     file

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


     int ldahread (ldptr, arhead)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     ARCHDR *arhead;

DESCRIPTION
     If TYPE(ldptr) is the archive file magic number, ldahread
     reads the archive header of the common object file currently
     associated with ldptr into the area of memory beginning at
     arhead.

     ldahread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If TYPE(ldptr) does
     not represent an archive file or if it cannot read the
     archive header, ldahread fails.

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