SYNOPSIS

#include <gelf.h>

GElf_Shdr *gelf_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn, GElf_Shdr *dst);

gelf_getshdr() retrieves the section header associated with the section descriptor scn, translating it into the class-independent GElf_Shdr representation. The header is copied into the structure referenced by dst.

 

PARAMETERS

scn
Pointer to a section descriptor of type Elf_Scn.

dst
Pointer to a caller-provided GElf_Shdr structure to receive the section header.

 

RETURN VALUE

On success, gelf_getshdr() stores the section header in dst and returns dst. On failure, NULL is returned and elf_errno is set. If scn is NULL then NULL is returned without setting elf_errno.
