.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft "Elf32_Phdr *"
|
|
.Fn elf32_getphdr "Elf *elf"
|
|
.Ft "Elf64_Phdr *"

.Fn gelf_getphdr "Elf *elf" "int index" "GElf_Phdr *dst"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions retrieve and translate ELF program header information
|
|
from an ELF descriptor, if this information exists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Functions
|
|
.Fn elf32_getphdr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn elf64_getphdr
|
|
return a pointer to an array of translated
|
|
.Vt Elf32_Phdr
|
|
and
|
|
.Vt Elf64_Phdr
|
|
descriptors respectively.
|
|
These descriptors are described in
|
|
.Xr elf 5 .
|
|
The number of entries in this array is specified by the
|
|
.Va e_phnum
|
|
field of the executable header for ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_getphdr
|
|
will retrieve the program header table entry at index
|
|
.Ar index
|
|
from ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf.
|
|
The translated program header table entry will be written to the
|
|
address pointed to be argument
|
|
.Ar dst .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Applications may inform the library of modifications to a program header table entry
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Xr elf_flagphdr 3
|
|
API.
|
|
Applications using the
|
|
.Xr gelf 3
|
|
interface need to use the
|
|
.Xr gelf_update_phdr 3
|
|
API to copy modifications to a program header entry back to the underlying
|
|
ELF descriptor.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions a valid pointer if successful, or NULL in case an error
|
|
was encountered.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions may fail with the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|

|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT

|
was out of range.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_CLASS

|
|
did not match the expected class of the function being called.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
|
|
ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
did not possess an executable header.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
|
|
ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
had a corrupt executable header.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_RESOURCE
|
|
An out of memory condition was detected.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_VERSION
|
|
