|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are used to query, set or reset flag bits on data
|
|
structures associated with an ELF file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Arguments
|
|
.Ar data ,
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar scn
|
|
denote the data structures whose status bits need to be changed.
|
|
These values are allowed to be NULL to simplify error handling in
|
|
application code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
may have the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ELF_C_SET
|
|
.It Dv ELF_C_CLR
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
specifies the bits to be cleared.
|
|
.It Dv ELF_C_SET
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
specifies the bits to be set.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
is allowed to have the following bits set:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ELF_F_LAYOUT
|
|
.It Dv ELF_F_DIRTY
|
|
Mark the associated data structure as needing to be written back
|
|
to the underlying file.
|
|
A subsequent call to
|
|
.Xr elf_update 3
|
|
will resynchronize the library's internal data structures.
|
|
.It Dv ELF_F_LAYOUT
|
|
This flag is only valid with the
|
|
.Fn elf_flagelf
|
|
API.
|
|
It informs the library that the application will take
|
|
responsibility for the layout of the file and that the library is
|
|
not to insert any padding in between sections.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Marking a given data structure as
|
|
.Dq dirty
|
|
affects all of its contained elements.
|
|
Thus marking an ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
with
|
|
.Fn elf_flagelf "elf" "ELF_C_SET" "ELF_F_DIRTY"
|
|
means that the entire contents of the descriptor are
|
|
.Dq dirty .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Using a value of zero for argument
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
will return the current set of flags for the data structure being
|
|
queried.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
These functions return the updated bits is successful, and zero if
|
|
an error is detected.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions may fail with the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
An unsupported value was used for the
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
argument.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
had unsupported flag bits set.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was not a descriptor for an ELF object.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_SEQUENCE
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_flagehdr
|
|
was called without an executable header being allocated.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_SEQUENCE
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_flagphdr
|
|
was called without a program header being allocated.
