Name
       ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexed or named section header of a common object file

Syntax
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <filehdr.h>
       #include <scnhdr.h>
       #include <syms.h>
       #include <ldfcn.h>

       int ldshread (ldptr, sectindx, secthead)
       LDFILE *ldptr;
       unsigned short sectindx;
       SCNHDR *secthead;

       int ldnshread (ldptr, sectname, secthead)
       LDFILE *ldptr;
       char *sectname;
       SCNHDR *secthead;

Description
       The function reads the section header specified by sectindx of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of mem-
       ory beginning at secthead.

       The functions reads the section header specified by sectname into the area of memory beginning at secthead.

       The and functions return success or failure.  If sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file, ldshread   fails.	If
       there  is  no section name corresponding with sectname, fails.  If it cannot read the specified section header, either function fails.  The
       first section header has an index of one.  The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library libmld.a.
