elf_getarsym(3ELF)					       ELF Library Functions						elf_getarsym(3ELF)

NAME

       elf_getarsym - retrieve archive symbol table

SYNOPSIS

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

       Elf_Arsym *elf_getarsym(Elf *elf, size_t *ptr);

DESCRIPTION

       The  elf_getarsym()  function returns a pointer to the archive symbol table, if one is available for the ELF descriptor elf. Otherwise, the
       archive doesn't have a symbol table, an error occurred, or elf was null; elf_getarsym() then returns a null value. The symbol table  is	an
       array of structures that include the following members.

	      char *as_name;
	      size_t	as_off;
	      unsigned long  as_hash;

       These members have the following semantics:

       as_name	       A pointer to a null-terminated symbol name resides here.

       as_off	       This  value  is	a byte offset from the beginning of the archive to the member's header. The archive member residing at the
		       given offset defines the associated symbol. Values in as_off may be passed as arguments to elf_rand(). See  elf_begin(3ELF)
		       to access the desired archive member.

       as_hash	       This is a hash value for the name, as computed by elf_hash().

       If  ptr	is  non-null,  the library stores the number of table entries in the location to which ptr points. This value is set to 0 when the
       return value is NULL. The table's last entry, which is included in the count, has a null as_name, a zero value for  as_off,  and  ~0UL  for
       as_hash.

       The hash value returned is guaranteed not to be the bit pattern of all ones ( ~0UL).
