GELF_FSIZE

NAME
gelf_fsize - calculate the file size of an ELF data structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <gelf.h>
size_t gelf_fsize (Elf *elf, Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);
DESCRIPTION
Return
the number of bytes needed for the o-disk representation of an array of
count
elements with type denoted by
type.
The number of bytes depends on the binary class ( ELFCLASS32 or
ELFCLASS64)
of the given
elf.
The o-disk and i-memory representations of
Elf_Type
are assumed to be the same. See
libelf(3)
for more information regarding
Elf_Type.
PARAMETERS
- elf
-
The Elf descriptor that determines the binary class used to compute the
file size.
- type
-
The ELF data structure for which the file size is to be calculated.
- count
-
The number of elements of the specified type.
- version
-
The ELF version. This should be set to
EV_CURRENT,
which is the only valid value.
RETURN VALUE
The size in bytes of the specified count and type of data structure.
If version is not set to
EV_CURRENT
or
type
is not a valid
Elf_Type,
then 0 is returned and elf_errno is set. Integer overflow can occur if
the size of
type
multiplied by
count
is greater than
SIZE_MAX.
