NAME
     elf_next - sequential archive member access

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

     #include <libelf.h>

     Elf_Cmd elf_next(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
     elf_next, elf_rand, and elf_begin manipulate  simple  object
     files  and  archives.   elf  is an ELF descriptor previously
     returned  from  elf_begin.   elf_next  provides   sequential
     access  to  the next archive member.  That is, having an ELF
     descriptor, elf, associated with an archive member, elf_next
     prepares  the  containing  archive  to  access the following
     member when the program calls elf_begin.  After successfully
     positioning an archive for the next member, elf_next returns
     the value ELF_C_READ.  Otherwise, the open file was  not  an
     archive,  elf was null, or an error occurred, and the return
     value is ELF_C_NULL.  In either case, the return  value  may
     be  passed  as  an  argument  to  elf_begin,  specifying the
     appropriate action.
