ldsseek(3X)                                           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
          fails if sectindx is greater than the number of sections in
          the object file; ldnsseek fails if there is no section name
          corresponding with sectname.  Either function fails 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.
