NAME
       elf32_getshdr, elf64_getshdr - retrieve class-dependent section header

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

       Elf32_Shdr *elf32_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);

       Elf64_Shdr *elf64_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);

DESCRIPTION
       For a 32-bit class file, elf32_getshdr() returns a pointer to a section header for the section descriptor scn. Otherwise, the file is not a
       32-bit class file, scn was NULL, or an error occurred; elf32_getshdr() then returns NULL.

       The  elf32_getshdr header includes the following members:

	 Elf32_Word	sh_name;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_type;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_flags;
	 Elf32_Addr	sh_addr;
	 Elf32_Off sh_offset;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_size;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_link;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_info;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_addralign;
	 Elf32_Word	sh_entsize;

       while the  elf64_getshdr header includes the following members:

	 Elf64_Word	sh_name;
	 Elf64_Word	sh_type;
	 Elf64_Xword	sh_flags;
	 Elf64_Addr	sh_addr;
	 Elf64_Off sh_offset;
	 Elf64_Xword	sh_size;
	 Elf64_Word	sh_link;
	 Elf64_Word	sh_info;
	 Elf64_Xword	sh_addralign;
	 Elf64_Xword	sh_entsize;

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

       If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating the file's ELF header before creating sections.
