Name
ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file
Syntax
#include <stdio.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <syms.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>
int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
LDFILE *ldptr;
FILHDR *filehead;
Description
The function reads the file header of the common object file currently associated with ldptr . It reads the file header into the area of
memory beginning at filehead.
The function returns success or failure. If ldfhread cannot read the file header, it fails.
Usually, can be avoided by using the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined in <ldfcn.h> see Note that the information in HEADER is swapped, if neces-
sary. The information in any field, fieldname, of the file header can be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.
