elf_getbase(ELF)


elf_getbase -- get the base offset for an object file

Synopsis

   cc [flag . . . ] file . . . -lelf [library] . . .
   

#include <libelf.h>

off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

Description

elf_getbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or archive member associated with elf, if it is known or obtainable, and -1 otherwise. A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return value in this case is -1. The base offset of an archive member is the beginning of the member's information, not the beginning of the archive member header.
