ELF_FILL(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					       ELF_FILL(3)

NAME

     elf_fill -- set fill byte for inter-section padding

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     void
     elf_fill(int fill);

DESCRIPTION

     Function elf_fill() allows an application to specify a fill value for the padding inserted between two sections of an ELF file to meet sec-
     tion alignment constraints.  By default the ELF library uses zero bytes for padding.

     The ELF library will only pad bytes if the ELF_F_LAYOUT flag is not set for the ELF file.

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.

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.
