LDSHREAD(3X)							  LDSHREAD(3X)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #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    [Toc]    [Back]

     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, either function fails.

     NOTE: The first section header has	an index of one.

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