ldshread(3)
NAME
  ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexed/named section header of a common
  object file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <filehdr.h>
  #include <scnhdr.h>
  #include <syms.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
  ldshread reads the section header specified by sectindx of the common
  object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of memory
  beginning at secthead.

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

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

  NOTE: The first section header has an index of one.

  The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library
  libmld.a.
