elf_fill

elf_fill(3ELF)                                                 ELF Library Functions                                                elf_fill(3ELF)

NAME

       elf_fill - set fill byte

SYNOPSIS

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

       void elf_fill(int fill);

DESCRIPTION

       Alignment  constraints  for ELF files sometimes require the presence of ``holes.'' For example, if the data for one section are required to
       begin on an eight-byte boundary, but the preceding section is too ``short,'' the library must fill the intervening bytes. These  bytes  are
       set  to the fill character. The library uses zero bytes unless the application supplies a value. See elf_getdata(3ELF) for more information
       about these holes.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE         |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability          |Stable                       |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |MT-Level                     |MT-Safe                      |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       elf(3ELF), elf_flagdata(3ELF), elf_getdata(3ELF), elf_update(3ELF), libelf(3LIB), attributes(5)

NOTES

       An application can assume control of the object file organization by setting the ELF_F_LAYOUT bit (see elf_flagdata(3ELF)).  When  this  is
       done, the library does not fill holes.
