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.

     Programs using this routine should be loaded with the object
     file access library libld.a.
