ldfhread(S)


ldfhread -- read the file header of a common object file

Syntax

cc . . . -lld

#include <filehdr.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>

int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead) LDFILE *ldptr; FILHDR *filehead;

Description

The ldfhread function reads the file header of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory beginning at filehead.

ldfhread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE. ldfhread fails if it cannot read the file header.

In most cases the use of ldfhread can be avoided by using the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined in ldfcn.h (see ldfcn(FP)). The information in any field, fieldname, of the file header may be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.
