.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft Elf_Cmd
|
|
.Fn elf_rand "Elf *archive" "off_t offset"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn elf_rand
|
|
function causes the ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar archive
|
|
to be adjusted so that the next call to
|
|
.Xr elf_begin 3
|
|
will provide access to the archive member at byte offset
|
|
.Ar offset
|
|
in the archive.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar offset
|
|
is the byte offset from the start of the archive to the beginning of
|
|
the archive header for the desired member.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Archive member offsets may be retrieved using the
|
|
.Xr elf_getarsym 3
|
|
function.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_rand
|
|
returns
|
|
.Ar offset
|
|
if successful or zero in case of an error.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To process all the members of an archive use:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
off_t off;
|
|
Elf *archive, *e;
|
|
\&...
|
|
cmd = ELF_C_READ;
|
|
archive = elf_begin(fd, cmd, NULL);
|
|
while ((e = elf_begin(fd, cmd, archive)) != (Elf *) 0)
|
|
{
|
|
... process `e' here ...
|
|
elf_end(e);
|
|
|
|
off = ...new value...;
|
|
if (elf_rand(archive, off) != off) {
|
|
... process error ...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
elf_end(archive);
|
|

To rewind an archive, use:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
Elf *archive;
|
|
\&...
|
|
if (elf_rand(archive, SARMAG) != SARMAG) {
