.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions return a simple checksum of the ELF object described
|
|
by their argument
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
The checksum is computed in way that allows its value to remain
|
|
unchanged in presence of modifications to the ELF object by utilities
|
|
like
|
|
.Xr strip 1 .

|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf64_checksum

.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_checksum
|
|

.Ar elf .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
These functions return the checksum of the ELF object, or zero in case
|
|
an error was encountered.
|
