.Os

|
.Nd retrieve the symbol table of an archive
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libelf
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft "Elf_Arsym *"
|
|
.Fn elf_getarsym "Elf *elf" "size_t *ptr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn elf_getarsym
|
|
retrieves the symbol table for an
|
|
.Xr ar 1
|
|
archive, if one is available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
should be a descriptor for an
|
|
.Xr ar 1
|
|
archive opened using
|
|
.Fn elf_begin
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn elf_memory .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the archive
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
contains a symbol table with n entries, this function returns a
|
|
pointer to an array of n+1
|
|
.Vt Elf_Arsym
|
|
structures.
|
|
An
|
|
.Vt Elf_Arsym
|
|
structure has the following elements:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
|
|
.It Vt "char *" Va as_name
|
|
This structure member is a pointer to a null-terminated symbol name.
|
|
.It Vt "off_t" Va as_off
|
|
This structure member contains the byte offset from the beginning of the archive to
|
|
the header for the archive member.
|
|
This value is suitable for use with
|
|
.Xr elf_rand 3 .
|
|
.It Vt "unsigned long" Va as_hash
|
|
This structure member contains a portable hash value for the symbol
|
|
name, as computed by
|
|
.Xr elf_hash 3 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The last entry of the returned array will have a NULL value for member
|
|
.Va as_name ,
|
|
a zero value for member
|
|
.Va as_off
|
|
and an illegal value of ~0UL for
|
|
.Va as_hash .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If argument
|
|
.Ar ptr
|
|
is non-null, the
|
|
.Fn elf_getarsym
|
|
function will store the number of table entries returned (including the
|
|
sentinel entry at the end) into the location it points to.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_getarsym
|
|
returns a pointer to an array of
|
|
.Vt Elf_Arsym
|
|
structures if successful, or a NULL
|
|
pointer if an error was encountered.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If argument
|
|
.Ar ptr
|
|
is non-null and there was no error, the library will store the
|
|
number of archive symbol entries returned into the location it
|
|
points to.
|
|
If argument
|
|
.Ar ptr
|
|
is non-null and an error was encountered, the library will
|
|
set the location pointed to by it to zero.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn elf_getarsym
|
|
may fail with the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was NULL.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT

|
|
.Xr ar 1
