.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm elf_memory
|
|
.Nd process an ELF or ar(1) archive mapped into memory
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libelf
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft "Elf *"
|
|
.Fn elf_memory "char *image" "size_t size"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_memory
|
|
is used to process an ELF file or
|
|
.Xr ar 1
|
|
archive whose image is present in memory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar image
|
|
points to the start of the memory image of the file or archive.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
contains the size in bytes of the memory image.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The ELF descriptor is created for reading (i.e., analogous to the
|
|
use of
|
|
.Xr elf_begin 3
|
|
with a command argument value of
|
|
.Dv ELF_C_READ Ns ).
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_memory
|
|
returns a pointer to a new ELF descriptor if successful, or NULL if an
|
|
error occurred.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The return value may be queried for the file type using
|
|
.Xr elf_kind 3 .
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To read parse an elf file, use:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
int fd;
|
|
void *p;
|
|
struct stat sb;
|
|
Elf *e;
|
|
\&...
|
|
if ((fd = open("./elf-file", O_RDONLY)) < 0 ||
|
|
fstat(fd, &sb) < 0 ||
|
|
(p = mmap(NULL, sb.st_size, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, (off_t) 0)) ==
|
|
MAP_FAILED) {
|
|
... handle system error ...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if ((e = elf_memory(p, sb.st_size)) == NULL) {
|
|
... handle elf(3) error ...
|
|
}
|
|
\&... use ELF descriptor "e" here ...
|

.Sh ERRORS
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_memory
|
|
can fail with the following errors:
|

|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT

.Ar image
|
|
or the value of argument
|
|
.Ar sz
|
|
was zero.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
|

The header of the ELF object contained an unsupported value in its
|
|
.Va e_ident[EI_CLASS]
|
|
field.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
|
|
The header of the ELF object contained an unsupported value in its

.Fn elf_memory
|
|
was called before a working version was set using
|
|
.Xr elf_version 3 .
|
|
