.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libelf.h
|
|
.Ft "Elf32_Phdr *"
|
|
.Fn elf32_newphdr "Elf *elf" "size_t count"
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions allocate an ELF Program Header table
|
|
for an ELF descriptor.
|
|
.Vt Elf32_Phdr
|
|
and
|
|
.Vt Elf64_Phdr
|
|
descriptors are described further in
|
|
.Xr elf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Functions
|
|
.Fn elf32_newphdr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn elf64_newphdr
|
|
allocate a table of
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
.Vt Elf32_Phdr
|
|
and
|
|
.Vt Elf64_Phdr
|
|
descriptors respectively,
|
|
discarding any existing program header table
|
|
already present in the ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
A value of zero for argument
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
may be used to delete an existing program header table
|
|
from an ELF descriptor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn gelf_newphdr
|
|
will return a table of
|
|
.Vt Elf32_Phdr
|
|
or
|
|
.Vt Elf64_Phdr
|
|
with
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
elements depending on the ELF class of ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions set the
|
|
.Dv ELF_F_DIRTY
|
|
flag on the program header table.
|
|
All members of the returned array of Phdr structures
|
|
will be initialized to zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After a successful call to these functions, the pointer returned
|
|
by a prior call to
|
|
.Fn elf32_getphdr
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn elf64_getphdr
|
|
on the same descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
will no longer be valid.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions a valid pointer if successful, or NULL in case an error
|
|
was encountered.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions may fail with the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was NULL.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was not a descriptor for an ELF object.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_CLASS
|
|
ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
was of an unrecognized class.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_RESOURCE
|
|
An out of memory condition was detected.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_SEQUENCE
|
|
An executable header was not allocated for ELF descriptor
|
|
.Ar elf
|
|
before using these APIs.
