ldsseek, ldnsseek - Seeks to an indexed/named section of a common object file

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.19. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.19.

NAME
     ldsseek, ldnsseek - Seeks to an indexed/named section of a common
     object file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <filehdr.h>
     #include <syms.h>
     #include <ldfcn.h>

     int ldsseek ("ldptr,sectindx")
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     unsigned short"sectindx";

     int ldnsseek ("ldptr,sectname")
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     char *sectname;

DESCRIPTION
     This routine is available for o32 ABI programs only.

     ldsseek seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the common
     object file currently associated with ldptr.

     ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.

     ldsseek and ldnsseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If sectindx is
     greater than the number of sections in the object file, ldsseek fails;
     if there is no section name corresponding with sectname, ldnsseek
     fails.  If there is no section data for the specified section or if it
     cannot seek to the specified section, both functions fail.

     The first section has an index of one.

     The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library
     libmld.a.
