NAME

       elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file

SYNOPSIS

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

       off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION

       The  elf_getbase()  function returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or archive member associated with elf, if it is known or
       obtainable, and -1 otherwise. A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return value in this case is -1. The base offset of an
       archive member is the beginning of the member's information, not the beginning of the archive member header.
