elf_getbase -- get the base offset for an object file
LIBRARY
ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libelf.h>
off_t
elf_getbase(Elf *elf);
DESCRIPTION
Function elf_getbase() returns the file offset to the first byte of the object referenced by ELF descriptor elf.
For descriptors referencing members of archives, the returned offset is the file offset of the member in its containing archive. For
descriptors to regular objects, the returned offset is (vacuously) zero.
RETURN VALUES
Function elf_getbase() returns a valid file offset if successful, or (off_t) -1 in case of an error.
ERRORS
Function elf_getbase() may fail with the following errors:
[ELF_E_ARGUMENT] Argument elf was NULL.

elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lelf [ library ... ]
#include <libelf.h>
off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);
DESCRIPTION
The elf_getbase() function returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or archive member associated with elf, if it is known or
obtainable, and -1 otherwise. A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return value in this case is -1. The base offset of an
archive member is the beginning of the member's information, not the beginning of the archive member header.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
