.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are analogous to
|
|
.Fn gelf_getsym
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn gelf_update_sym
|
|
respectively, but are capable of handling symbol tables using extended
|
|
section numbering.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar symdata
|
|
is an
|
|
.Vt Elf_Data
|
|
descriptor associated with a section of type
|
|
.Dv SHT_SYMTAB .
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar xndxdata
|
|
is an
|
|
.Vt Elf_Data
|
|
descriptor associated with a section of type
|
|
.Dv SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX .
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar ndx
|
|
is the index of the symbol table entry being retrieved or updated.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar sym
|
|
is a pointer to a class-independent
|
|
.Vt GElf_Sym
|
|
structure.
|
|
.Vt GElf_Sym
|
|
structures are described in detail in
|
|
.Xr gelf 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_getsymshndx
|
|
retrieves symbol information at index
|
|
.Ar ndx
|
|
from the data descriptor specified by argument
|
|
.Ar symdata
|
|
and stores in class-independent form in argument
|
|
.Ar sym .
|
|
In addition it retrieves the extended section index for the
|
|
symbol from data buffer
|
|
.Ar xndxdata
|
|
and stores it into the location pointed to by argument
|
|
.Ar xndxptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_update_symshndx
|
|
updates the underlying symbol table entry in data
|
|
descriptor
|
|
.Ar symdata
|
|
with the information in argument
|
|
.Ar sym .
|
|
In addition it sets the extended section index in
|
|
data buffer
|
|
.Ar xndxdata
|
|
to the value of argument
|
|
.Ar xndx .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_getsymshndx
|
|
returns the value of argument
|
|
.Ar sym
|
|
if successful, or NULL in case of an error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_update_symshndx
|
|
returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions may fail with the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|

Arguments
|
|
.Ar symdata ,

|
were NULL.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar ndx
|

|
|
.Ar symdata
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar xndxdata .
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Data descriptor
|

|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Data descriptor
|
|
.Ar symdata
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar xndxdata
|
|
were associated with different ELF objects.
