|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libelf
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft "Elf32_Ehdr *"
|
|
.Fn elf32_newehdr "Elf *elf"
|
|
.Ft "Elf64_Ehdr *"
|
|
.Fn elf64_newehdr "Elf *elf"
|
|
.In gelf.h
|
|
.Ft "void *"
|
|
.Fn gelf_newehdr "Elf *elf" "int elfclass"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions retrieve the ELF header from the ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf ,
|
|
allocating a new header if needed.
|
|
File data structures are translated to their in-memory representations
|
|
as described in
|
|
.Xr elf 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf32_newehdr
|
|
returns a pointer to a 32 bit
|
|
.Vt Elf32_Ehdr
|
|
structure.
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf64_newehdr
|
|
returns a pointer to a 64 bit
|
|
.Vt Elf64_Ehdr structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When argument
|
|
.Ar elfclass
|
|
has value
|
|
.Dv ELFCLASS32 ,
|
|
function
|
|
.Fn gelf_newehdr
|
|
returns the value returned by
|
|
.Fn elf32_newehdr "elf" .
|
|
When argument
|
|
.Ar elfclass
|
|
has value
|
|
.Dv ELFCLASS64
|
|
it returns the value returned by
|
|
.Fn elf64_newehdr "elf" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a fresh header structure is allocated, the members of the
|
|
structure are initialized as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va "e_ident[EI_MAG0..EI_MAG3]"
|
|
Identification bytes at offsets
|
|
.Dv EI_MAG0 ,
|
|
.Dv EI_MAG1 ,
|
|
.Dv EI_MAG2
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv EI_MAG3
|
|
are set to the ELF signature.
|
|
.It Va "e_ident[EI_CLASS]"
|
|
The identification byte at offset
|
|
.Dv EI_CLASS
|
|
is set to the ELF class associated with the function being called
|
|
or to argument
|
|
.Ar elfclass
|
|
for function
|
|
.Fn gelf_newehdr .
|
|
.It Va "e_ident[EI_DATA]"
|
|
The identification byte at offset
|
|
.Dv EI_DATA
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv ELFDATANONE .
|
|
.It Va "e_ident[EI_VERSION]"
|
|
The identification byte at offset
|
|
.Dv EI_VERSION
|
|
is set to the ELF library's operating version set by a prior call to
|
|
.Xr elf_version 3 .
|
|
.It Va e_machine
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv EM_NONE .
|
|
.It Va e_type
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv ELF_K_NONE .
|
|
.It Va e_version
|
|
is set to the ELF library's operating version set by a prior call to
|
|
.Xr elf_version 3 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other members of the header are set to zero.
|
|
The application is responsible for changing these values
|
|
as needed before calling
|
|
.Fn elf_update .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If successful, these three functions set the
|
|
.Dv ELF_F_DIRTY
|
|
flag on ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
These functions return a pointer to a translated header descriptor
|
|
if successful, or NULL on failure.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions can fail with the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was null.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
