elf_getbase(3E)

NAME
     elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file

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

     #include <libelf.h>
     off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
     elf_getbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or
     archive member associated with elf, if it is known or obtainable, and -1
     otherwise.  A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return
     value in this case is -1.  The base offset of an archive member is the
     beginning of the member's information, not the beginning of the archive
     member header.
