NAME¶

elf_getarhdr - retrieve archive member header information

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <libelf.h>
Elf_Arhdr *elf_getarhdr(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION¶

Return a Elf_Arhdr * describing the archive header of the archive member currently referred to by an ELF descriptor.

The Elf_Arhdr structure is defined as:

typedef struct {


  char *ar_name;                /* Name of archive member.  */


  time_t ar_date;               /* File date.  */


  uid_t ar_uid;                 /* User ID.  */


  gid_t ar_gid;                 /* Group ID.  */


  mode_t ar_mode;               /* File mode.  */


  int64_t ar_size;              /* File size.  */


  char *ar_rawname;             /* Original name of archive member.  */
} Elf_Arhdr;

PARAMETERS¶

elf

An ELF descriptor referring to a member of an archive file.

RETURN VALUE¶

If elf refers to an archive member, elf_getarhdr() returns a pointer to its archive header. This pointer is valid until elf or the parent archive Elf descriptor are closed using elf_end(). If elf does not refer to an archive member or the header cannot be acquired then NULL is returned.
