LDSSEEK(3X)                          BSD                           LDSSEEK(3X)



NAME
     ldsseek, ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of a common object
     file

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

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

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

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

     ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.

     ldsseek and ldnsseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldsseek will fail if
     sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file;
     ldnsseek will fail if there is no section name corresponding with
     sectname.  Either function will fail if there is no section data for the
     specified section or if it cannot seek to the specified section.

     Note that the first section has an index of one.

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