LDRSEEK(3X)                          BSD                           LDRSEEK(3X)



NAME
     ldrseek, ldnrseek - seek to relocation entries of a section of a common
     object file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <filehdr.h>
     #include <ldfcn.h>

     int ldrseek (ldptr, sectindx)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     unsigned short sectindx;

     int ldnrseek (ldptr, sectname)
     LDFILE *ldptr;
     char *sectname;

DESCRIPTION
     ldrseek seeks to the relocation entries of the section specified by
     sectindx of the common object file currently associated with ldptr.

     ldnrseek seeks to the relocation entries of the section specified by
     sectname.

     ldrseek and ldnrseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldrseek will fail if
     sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file;
     ldnrseek will fail if there is no section name corresponding with
     sectname.  Either function will fail if the specified section has no
     relocation entries or if it cannot seek to the specified relocation
     entries.

     Note that the first section has an index of one.

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