ldfhread(3x)															      ldfhread(3x)

Name
       ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file

Syntax
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <filehdr.h>
       #include <syms.h>
       #include <ldfcn.h>

       int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
       LDFILE *ldptr;
       FILHDR *filehead;

Description
       The  function  reads the file header of the common object file currently associated with ldptr .  It reads the file header into the area of
       memory beginning at filehead.

       The function returns success or failure.  If ldfhread cannot read the file header, it fails.

       Usually, can be avoided by using the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined in <ldfcn.h> see Note that the information in HEADER is swapped, if neces-
       sary.  The information in any field, fieldname, of the file header can be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.

NAME
ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexednamed 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 sectindx 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 routine library libmld.a. RELATED INFORMATION
