elf_getbase --
get the base offset for an object file
Syntax
cc [flag . . . ] file . . . -lelf [library] . . .
#include <libelf.h>
off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);
Description
elf_getbase(S-osr5)
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.
Diagnostics
Error conditions are identified through the routine
elf_error(S-osr5).
