NAME
       elf32_getphdr, elf32_newphdr, elf64_getphdr, elf64_newphdr - retrieve class-dependent program header table

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file... -lelf [ library ... ]
       #include <libelf.h>

       Elf32_Phdr *elf32_getphdr(Elf *elf);

       Elf32_Phdr *elf32_newphdr(Elf *elf, size_t count);

       Elf64_Phdr *elf64_getphdr(Elf *elf);

       Elf64_Phdr *elf64_newphdr(Elf *elf, size_t count);

DESCRIPTION
       For  a 32-bit class file, elf32_getphdr() returns a pointer to the program execution header table, if one is available for the ELF descrip-
       tor elf.

       elf32_newphdr() allocates a new table with count entries, regardless of whether one existed previously, and sets the  ELF_F_DIRTY  bit  for
       the  table.  See elf_flagdata(3ELF). Specifying a zero count deletes an existing table. Note this behavior differs from that of elf32_newe-
       hdr() allowing a program to replace or delete the program header table, changing its size if necessary.	See elf32_getehdr(3ELF).

       If no program header table exists, the file is not a 32-bit class file, an error occurs, or elf is  NULL,  both	functions  return  a  null
       pointer. Additionally, elf32_newphdr() returns a null pointer if count is 0.

       The table is an array of Elf32_Phdr structures, each of which includes the following members:

	 Elf32_Word	p_type;
	 Elf32_Off p_offset;
	 Elf32_Addr	p_vaddr;
	 Elf32_Addr	p_paddr;
	 Elf32_Word	p_filesz;
	 Elf32_Word	p_memsz;
	 Elf32_Word	p_flags;
	 Elf32_Word	p_align;

       The  Elf64_Phdr structures include the following members:

	 Elf64_Word	p_type;
	 Elf64_Word	p_flags;
	 Elf64_Off p_offset;
	 Elf64_Addr	p_vaddr;
	 Elf64_Addr	p_paddr;
	 Elf64_Xword	p_filesz;
	 Elf64_Xword	p_memsz;
	 Elf64_Xword	p_align;

       For the 64-bit class, replace 32 with 64 as appropriate.

       The  ELF  header's  e_phnum member tells how many entries the program header table has. See elf32_getehdr(3ELF). A program may inspect this
       value to determine the size of an existing table; elf32_newphdr() automatically sets the member's value to count. If the program is  build-
       ing a new file, it is responsible for creating the file's ELF header before creating the program header table.
