Highlights: - Make sure that only TLS sections are sorted into TLS segment. - Fixed multiple errors in "Section to Segment mapping". - Man page updates - ar improvements - elfcopy: avoid filter_reloc uninitialized variable for rela - elfcopy: avoid stripping relocations from static binaries - readelf: avoid printing directory in front of absolute path - readelf: add NT_FREEBSD_FEATURE_CTL FreeBSD note type - test improvements NOTES: Some of these changes originated in FreeBSD and simply reduce diffs between contrib and vendor. ELF Tool Chain ar is not (currently) used in FreeBSD, and there are improvements in both FreeBSD and ELF Tool Chain ar that are not in the other. Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn elf_version
|
|
function is used to query the current operating version of the ELF
|
|
library, and to inform the ELF library about the application's desired
|
|
operating version.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.Ar version
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv EV_NONE ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn elf_version
|
|
function returns the currently configured operating version for the
|
|
ELF library.

|
If the argument

.Ar version
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv EV_NONE ,
|
|
and if argument
|
|
.Ar version
|
|
is supported by the ELF library, function
|
|
.Fn elf_version
|
|
sets the library's operating version to
|
|
.Ar version ,
|
|
and returns the previous value of the operating version.

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
An application program would inform the ELF library about its desired
|
|
operating version and check for an error using the following code
|
|
snippet:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
