ldshread(3X)

NAME
     ldshread, ldnshread - Reads an indexed/named section header of a
     common object file

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

     int ldshread ("ldptr,sectindx,secthead')
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     unsigned short"sectindx";
     SCNHDR *secthead;

     int ldnshread ("ldptr,sectname,secthead")
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     char *sectname;
     SCNHDR *secthead;

DESCRIPTION
     This routine is available for o32 ABI programs only.

     ldshread reads the section header specified by sectindx of the common
     object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory
     beginning at secthead.

     ldnshread reads the section header specified by sectname into the area
     of memory beginning at secthead.

     ldshread and ldnshread return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If sectindx is
     greater than the number of sections in the object file, ldshread
     fails.  If there is no section name corresponding with sectname,
     ldnshread fails.  If it cannot read the specified section header, both
     functions fail.

     The first section header has an index of one.

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