NAME

ldrseek, ldnrseek − seek to relocation entries of a section of a COFF file

SYNOPSIS

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

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

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

AVAILABILITY

Available only on Sun 386i systems running a SunOS 4.0.x release or earlier.  Not a SunOS 4.1 release feature. 

DESCRIPTION

ldrseek() seeks to the relocation entries of the section specified by sectindx of the COFF file currently associated with ldptr.

ldnrseek() seeks to the relocation entries of the section specified by sectname.

ldrseek() and ldnrseek() return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldrseek() will fail if sectindx is greater than the number of sections in the object file; ldnrseek() will fail if there is no section name corresponding with sectname. Either function will fail if the specified section has no relocation entries or if it cannot seek to the specified relocation entries.

Note: the first section has an index of one. 

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