Syntax

#include  <filehdr.h>
#include  <scnhdr.h>
#include  <ldfcn.h>

int ldshread (ldptr, sectindx, secthead)
LDFILE *ldptr;
unsigned short sectindx;
SCNHDR *secthead;

int ldnshread (ldptr, sectname, secthead)
LDFILE *ldptr;
char *sectname;
SCNHDR *secthead;

Description

ldnshread- reads section header specified by sectname into memory

The ldshread function reads the section header specified by sectindx of the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory beginning at secthead.

The ldnshread function reads the section header specified by sectname into the area of memory beginning at secthead.

The ldshread and ldnshread functions return SUCCESS or FAILURE. ldshread fails if sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file; ldnshread fails if there is no section name corresponding with sectname. Either function fails if it cannot read the specified section header.

Note that the first section header has an index of one.
