.Sh SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.In libelf.h
 | 
						|
.Ft "Elf32_Phdr *"
 | 
						|
.Fn elf32_getphdr "Elf *elf"
 | 
						|
.Ft "Elf64_Phdr *"

.Fn gelf_getphdr "Elf *elf" "int index" "GElf_Phdr *dst"
 | 
						|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
These functions retrieve and translate ELF program header information
 | 
						|
from an ELF descriptor, if this information exists.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
Functions
 | 
						|
.Fn elf32_getphdr
 | 
						|
and
 | 
						|
.Fn elf64_getphdr
 | 
						|
return a pointer to an array of translated
 | 
						|
.Vt Elf32_Phdr
 | 
						|
and
 | 
						|
.Vt Elf64_Phdr
 | 
						|
descriptors respectively.
 | 
						|
These descriptors are described in
 | 
						|
.Xr elf 5 .
 | 
						|
The number of entries in this array may be determined using the
 | 
						|
.Xr elf_getphnum 3
 | 
						|
function.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
Function
 | 
						|
.Fn gelf_getphdr
 | 
						|
will retrieve the program header table entry at index
 | 
						|
.Ar index
 | 
						|
from ELF descriptor
 | 
						|
.Ar elf.
 | 
						|
The translated program header table entry will be written to the
 | 
						|
address pointed to be argument
 | 
						|
.Ar dst .
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
Applications may inform the library of modifications to a program header table entry
 | 
						|
by using the
 | 
						|
.Xr elf_flagphdr 3
 | 
						|
API.
 | 
						|
Applications using the
 | 
						|
.Xr gelf 3
 | 
						|
interface need to use the
 | 
						|
.Xr gelf_update_phdr 3
 | 
						|
API to copy modifications to a program header entry back to the underlying
 | 
						|
ELF descriptor.
 | 
						|
.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_ARGUMENT
 | 
						|
Argument
 | 
						|
.Ar dst
 | 
						|
was NULL.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
 | 
						|
Index
 | 
						|
.Ar index
 | 
						|
was out of range.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_CLASS
 | 
						|
The class of ELF descriptor
 | 
						|
.Ar elf
 | 
						|
did not match the expected class of the function being called.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
 | 
						|
ELF descriptor
 | 
						|
.Ar elf
 | 
						|
did not possess an executable header.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
 | 
						|
ELF descriptor
 | 
						|
.Ar elf
 | 
						|
had a corrupt executable header.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_RESOURCE
 | 
						|
An out of memory condition was detected.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_E_SECTION
 | 
						|
The ELF descriptor in argument
 | 
						|
.Ar elf
 | 
						|
did not adhere to the conventions used for extended numbering.
 | 
						|
.It Bq Er ELF_VERSION
 | 
						|
ELF descriptor
 | 
						|
.Ar elf
 | 
						|
was of an unsupported version.
