ldsseek(3x)  —  RISC

Name

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

Syntax

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

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

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

Description

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

The ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.

The ldsseek and ldnsseek 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 a no section data for the specified section does not exist 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.
