NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     elf_next -	sequential archive member access

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     #include <libelf.h>

     Elf_Cmd elf_next(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
     Otherwise,	the open file was not an archive, elf was null,	or an error
     occurred, and 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.
