LDSSEEK(3X)         RISC/os Reference Manual          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 speci-
     fied section, either function fails.

     NOTE: The first section has an index of one.

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