elf_getbase(3E)  —  ELF LIBRARY FUNCTIONS

NAME

elf_getbase − get the base offset for an object file

SYNOPSIS

cc [flag ...] file ... −lelf [library ...]

#include <libelf.h>
off_t elf_getbase(Elf ∗elf);

DESCRIPTION

elf_getbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or archive member associated with elf, if it is known or obtainable, and −1 otherwise. A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return value in this case is −1.  The base offset of an archive member is the beginning of the member’s information, not the beginning of the archive member header.
