elf_fill(3E)															      elf_fill(3E)

NAME

       elf_fill - set fill byte

SYNOPSIS

       [flag... ] file...  [library] ...

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(3E) for more information
       about these holes.

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

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.
