ELF_GETSHSTRNDX(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					ELF_GETSHSTRNDX(3)

NAME

     elf_getshstrndx, elf_setshstrndx -- retrieve/update the index of the section name string table

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     int
     elf_getshstrndx(Elf *elf, size_t *ndxptr);

     int
     elf_setshstrndx(Elf *elf, size_t ndx);

DESCRIPTION

     Function elf_getshstrndx() retrieves the section index of the string table containing section names from descriptor elf and stores it into
     the location pointed to by argument ndxptr.

     Function elf_setshstrndx() sets the index of the section name string table to argument ndx.

     These routines allow applications to process both normal ELF objects and ELF objects that use extended section numbering uniformly.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions return a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.

ERRORS

     These functions 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_ARGUMENT]  Argument ndx contained a value in the reserved range of section indices.

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.
