.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft off_t
|
|
.Fn elf_update "Elf *elf" "Elf_Cmd cmd"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_update
|
|
causes the library to recalculate the structure of an ELF
|
|
object and optionally write out the image of the object
|
|
to file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
is a descriptor to an ELF object.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
can take on the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "ELF_C_WRITE"
|
|
.It Dv ELF_C_NULL
|
|
The library will recalculate structural information flagging
|
|
modified structures with the
|
|
.Dv ELF_F_DIRTY
|
|
flag, but will not write back data to the underlying file image.
|
|
.It Dv ELF_C_WRITE
|
|
The library will recalculate structural information and will
|
|
also write the new image to the underlying file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss File Layout
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv ELF_F_LAYOUT
|
|
flag has been set on the ELF descriptor, the application assumes full
|
|
responsibility for the layout of the ELF object.
|
|
If this flag is not set, the ELF library will compute the layout of the
|
|
file from its associated section descriptors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is the application's responsibility to manage the the following
|
|
structure members in the ELF file:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It "Executable Header"
|
|
The ELF executable header is described in
|
|
.Xr elf 5 .
|
|
The following members of the ELF executable header are the application's
|
|
responsibility:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "e_ident[EI_OSABI]" -compact
|
|
.It Va e_entry
|
|
Set to the desired entry address for executables.

|
or
|
|
.Dv ELFDATA2MSB .
|
|
.It Va "e_ident[EI_OSABI]"
|
|
Set to the OS ABI desired.
|
|
For
|
|
.Fx
|
|
executables, this field should be set to
|
|
.Dv ELFOSABI_FREEBSD .
|
|
.It Va e_machine
|
|
Set to the desired machine architecture, one of the
|
|
.Dv EM_*
|
|
values in
|
|
.In sys/elf_common.h .
|
|
.It Va e_phoff
|
|
If the application is managing the object's layout, it must
|
|
set this field to the file offset of the ELF program header table.
|
|
.It Va e_shoff
|
|
If the application is managing the object's layout, it must
|
|
set this field to the file offset of the ELF section header table.
|
|
.It Va e_shstrndx
|
|
Set to the index of the string table containing
|
|
section names.
|
|
.It Va e_type
|
|
Set to the type of the ELF object, one of the
|
|
.Dv ET_*
|
|
values in
|
|
.In sys/elf_common.h .
|
|
.It Va e_version
|
|
Set to the desired version of the ELF object.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It "Program Header"
|
|
All fields of the entries in the program header table are
|
|
under application control.
|
|
.It "Section Header"
|
|
The ELF section header is described in
|
|
.Xr elf 5 .
|
|
The following members of the ELF section header are the
|
|
application's responsibility:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "sh_addralign" -compact
|
|
.It Va sh_addr
|
|
Set to the physical memory address where the section should reside.
|
|
.It Va sh_addralign
|
|
If the application is managing the file layout, it must set this
|
|
field to the desired alignment for the section's contents.
|
|
This value must be a power of two.
|
|
.It Va sh_entsize
|
|
Set to the size of each entry, for sections containing fixed size
|
|
elements, or set to zero for sections without fixed size elements.
|
|
If the application is not managing file layout, it may leave this
|
|
field as zero for those sections whose types known to the library.
|
|
.It Va sh_flags
|
|
Set to the desired section flags.
|
|
.It Va sh_info
|
|
Set as described in

.It Va sh_name
|
|
Set to the index of the section's name in the string table containing
|
|
section names.
|
|
.It Va sh_offset
|
|
If the application is managing the file layout, it must set this
|
|
field to the file offset of the section's contents.
|
|
.It Va sh_size
|
|
If the application is managing the file layout, it must set this
|
|
field to the file size of the section's contents.
|
|
.It Va sh_type
|
|
Set to the type of the section.
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Gaps in the coverage of the file's contents will be set to the fill value
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Xr elf_fill 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the application has requested full control over the file's layout by
|
|
setting the
|
|
.Dv ELF_F_LAYOUT
|
|
flag on the ELF descriptor, it should ensure that there are no
|
|
gaps in the coverage of the file's contents.

|
|
.Vt Elf_Scn
|
|
and
|
|
.Vt Elf_Data
