NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       ldahread  -  read  the  archive  header  of a member of an
       archive file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <stdio.h> #include <ar.h>

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

       int ldahread(
               LDFILE *ldptr,
               ARCHDR *arhead );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       If  TYPE(ldptr)  is  the  archive   file   magic   number,
       ldahread()  reads  the archive header of the common object
       file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory
 beginning at arhead.

       The  ldahread()  routine  returns  SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If
       TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file  or  if  it
       cannot read the archive header, ldahread() fails.

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