elf_next(3E)

NAME
     elf_next - Provides sequential archive member access

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

     #include <libelf.h>

     Elf_Cmd elf_next(Elf *elf);

IMPLEMENTATION
     IRIX systems

DESCRIPTION
     elf_next, elf_rand, and elf_begin manipulate simple object files and
     archives.  elf is an ELF descriptor previously returned from
     elf_begin.

     elf_next provides sequential access to the next archive member.  That
     is, having an ELF descriptor, elf, associated with an archive member,
     elf_next prepares the containing archive to access the following
     member when the program calls elf_begin.  After successfully
     positioning an archive for the next member, elf_next returns the value
     ELF_C_READ.  If the open file was not an archive, elf was null, or an
     error occurred, the return value is ELF_C_NULL.  In either case, the
     return value may be passed as an argument to elf_begin, specifying the
     appropriate action.
