.Dt ELF_CNTL 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm elf_cntl
|
|
.Nd control an elf file descriptor
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libelf
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn elf_cntl "Elf *elf" "Elf_Cmd cmd"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_cntl
|
|
controls the ELF library's subsequent use of the file descriptor
|
|
used to create ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
informs the library of the action to be taken:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "ELF_C_FDDONE"
|
|
.It Dv ELF_C_FDDONE
|
|
This value instructs the ELF library not to perform any further
|
|
I/O on the file descriptor associated with argument
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
For ELF descriptors opened with mode
|
|
.Ar ELF_C_WRITE
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar ELF_C_RDWR
|
|
subsequent
|
|
.Fn elf_update
|
|
operations on the descriptor will fail.
|
|
.It Dv ELF_C_FDREAD
|
|
This value instructs the ELF library to read in all necessary
|
|
data associated with ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
into memory so that the underlying file descriptor can be
|
|
safely closed with command
|
|
.Dv ELF_C_FDDONE .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
must be an ELF descriptor associated with a file system object
|
|
(e.g., an
|
|
.Xr ar 1
|
|
archive, an ELF file, or other data file).
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
Due to use of
|
|
.Xr mmap 2
|
|
internally, this function is a no-op for ELF objects opened in
|
|
.Dv ELF_C_READ
|
|
mode.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_cntl
|
|
returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error was detected.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARCHIVE
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
is a descriptor for an archive member.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was NULL.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
was not recognized.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_MODE
|
|
An
|
|
.Dv ELF_C_FDREAD
|
|
operation was requested on an ELF descriptor opened
|
|
for writing.
