NAME¶
gelf_getversym, gelf_getverdef, gelf_getverdaux, gelf_getverneed, gelf_getvernaux - retrieve GNU symbol versioning entries
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gelf.h> GElf_Versym *gelf_getversym (Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Versym *dst); GElf_Verdef *gelf_getverdef (Elf_Data *data, int offset, GElf_Verdef *dst); GElf_Verdaux *gelf_getverdaux(Elf_Data *data, int offset, GElf_Verdaux *dst); GElf_Verneed *gelf_getverneed(Elf_Data *data, int offset, GElf_Verneed *dst); GElf_Vernaux *gelf_getvernaux(Elf_Data *data, int offset, GElf_Vernaux *dst);
DESCRIPTION¶
These functions provide class-independent access to GNU ELF symbol version information. The requested entry is retrieved from data and stored in the caller-supplied dst.
- gelf_getversym()
- Retrieves the symbol version index at index ndx from the SHT_GNU_versym section associated with data.
- gelf_getverdef()
- Retrieves the version definition entry at section offset offset from the SHT_GNU_verdef section associated with data.
- gelf_getverdaux()
- Retrieves the version definition auxiliary entry at section offset offset from the SHT_GNU_verdef section associated with data.
- gelf_getverneed()
- Retrieves the version needed entry at section offset offset from the SHT_GNU_verneed section associated with data.
- gelf_getvernaux()
- Retrieves the version needed auxiliary entry at section offset offset from the SHT_GNU_verneed section associated with data.
PARAMETERS¶
- data
- Pointer to an Elf_Data corresponding to the appropriate GNU versioning section.
- ndx
- (For gelf_getversym() only.) Zero-based index of the entry within data.
- offset
- (For gelf_getverdef(), gelf_getverdaux(), gelf_getverneed(), and gelf_getvernaux().) Section-relative byte offset of the entry within data.
- dst
- Pointer to a caller-provided entry of the appropriate type: GElf_Versym, GElf_Verdef, GElf_Verdaux, GElf_Verneed, or GElf_Vernaux. This argument must not be NULL.
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, these functions store the requested entry in dst and return dst. On failure, these functions return NULL and set elf_errno. If data is NULL, then NULL is returned without setting elf_errno.
