ELF_GETSHNUM(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   ELF_GETSHNUM(3)

NAME

     elf_getshnum -- return the number of sections in an ELF file

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     int
     elf_getshnum(Elf *elf, size_t *shnum);

DESCRIPTION

     Function elf_getshnum() retrieves the number of ELF sections associated with descriptor elf and stores it into the location pointed to by
     argument shnum.

     This routine allows applications to uniformly process both normal ELF objects, and ELF objects that use extended section numbering.

RETURN VALUES

     Function elf_getshnum() returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.

ERRORS

     Function elf_getshnum() can fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  A NULL value was passed in for argument elf.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was not for an ELF file.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf lacks an ELF Executable header.

ELF_GETPHNUM(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   ELF_GETPHNUM(3)

NAME

     elf_getphnum -- return the number of program headers in an ELF file

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     int
     elf_getphnum(Elf *elf, size_t *phnum);

DESCRIPTION

     Function elf_getphnum() retrieves the number of ELF program headers associated with descriptor elf and stores it into the location pointed to
     by argument phnum.

     This routine allows applications to uniformly process both normal ELF objects and ELF objects that use extended numbering.

RETURN VALUES

     Function elf_getphnum() returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.

ERRORS

     Function elf_getphnum() can fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  A NULL value was passed in for argument elf.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was not for an ELF file.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf lacks an ELF Executable Header.

     [ELF_E_HEADER]    The ELF Executable Header associated with argument elf was corrupt.

     [ELF_E_SECTION]   The section header at index SHN_UNDEF was corrupt.
