elf_kind

elf_kind(3ELF)						       ELF Library Functions						    elf_kind(3ELF)

NAME

       elf_kind - determine file type

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lelf [ library ... ]
       #include <libelf.h>

       Elf_Kind elf_kind(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION

       This function returns a value identifying the kind of file associated with an ELF descriptor (elf). Defined values are below:

       ELF_K_AR        The  file is an archive [see ar.h(3HEAD)]. An ELF descriptor may also be associated with an archive member, not the archive
		       itself, and then elf_kind() identifies the member's type.

       ELF_K_COFF      The file is a COFF object file. elf_begin(3ELF) describes the library's handling for COFF files.

       ELF_K_ELF       The file is an ELF file. The program may use elf_getident() to determine the class. Other functions,  such  as  elf32_gete-
		       hdr(), are available to retrieve other file information.

       ELF_K_NONE      This indicates a kind of file unknown to the library.

       Other values are reserved, to be assigned as needed to new kinds of files. elf should be a value previously returned by elf_begin(). A null
       pointer is allowed, to simplify error handling, and causes elf_kind() to return ELF_K_NONE.
