NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <syms.h>
#include <ldfcn.h> int ldsseek(
        LDFILE ∗ldptr,
        unsigned short sectindx ); int ldnsseek(
        LDFILE ∗ldptr,
        char ∗sectname );

DESCRIPTION

The ldsseek() routine seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the common object file currently associated with ldptr. 

The ldnsseek() routine seeks to the section specified by sectname. 

Both routines return SUCCESS or FAILURE. If sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file, ldsseek() fails; if there is no section name corresponding with sectname, ldnsseek() fails. If there is no section data for the specified section or if it cannot seek to the specified section, either function fails. 

Note: The first section has an index of one. 

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