NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     ldfhread -	read the file header of	a common object	file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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


     int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     FILHDR *filehead;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     ldfhread reads the	file header of the common object file currently
     associated	with ldptr . It	reads the file header into the area of memory
     beginning at filehead.

     ldfhread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If ldfhread cannot read the file
     header, it	fails.

     Usually, ldfhread can be avoided by using the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined
     in	<ldfcn.h> (see ldfcn(4)).  Note	that the information in	HEADER is
     swapped, if necessary.  The information in	any field, fieldname, of the
     file header can be	accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.

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