ELF_GETIDENT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ELF_GETIDENT(3)NAME
elf_getident -- return the initial bytes of a file
LIBRARY
ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libelf.h>
char *
elf_getident(Elf *elf, size_t *sz);
DESCRIPTION
Function elf_getident() returns a pointer to the initial bytes of the file for descriptor elf.
If argument sz is non-null, the size of the identification area returned is written to the location pointed to by sz. This location is set
to zero on errors.
RETURN VALUES
Function elf_getident() will return a non-NULL pointer to the initial bytes of the file if successful, or NULL if an error condition is
detected.
ERRORS
Function elf_getident() can fail with the following errors:
[ELF_E_ARGUMENT] A NULL value was passed in for argument elf.
[ELF_E_SEQUENCE] ELF descriptor elf was opened for writing and function elf_getident() was called before a call to elf_update(3).

GELF_GETEHDR(3) BSD Library Functions Manual GELF_GETEHDR(3)NAME
elf32_getehdr, elf64_getehdr, gelf_getehdr -- retrieve the object file header
LIBRARY
ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libelf.h>
Elf32_Ehdr *
elf32_getehdr(Elf *elf);
Elf64_Ehdr *
elf64_getehdr(Elf *elf);
#include <gelf.h>
GElf_Ehdr *
gelf_getehdr(Elf *elf, GElf_Ehdr *dst);
DESCRIPTION
These functions retrieve the ELF object file header from the ELF descriptor elf and return a translated header descriptor to their callers.
Functions elf32_getehdr() and elf64_getehdr() return a pointer to the appropriate class-specific header descriptor if it exists in the file
referenced by descriptor elf. These functions return NULL if an ELF header was not found in file elf.
Function gelf_getehdr() stores a translated copy of the header for ELF file elf into the descriptor pointed to by argument dst. It returns
argument dst if successful or NULL in case of failure.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return a pointer to a translated header descriptor if successful, or NULL on failure.
ERRORS
These functions can fail with the following errors:
[ELF_E_ARGUMENT] The argument elf was null.
[ELF_E_ARGUMENT] Argument elf was not a descriptor for an ELF file.
[ELF_E_ARGUMENT] The elf class of descriptor elf was not recognized.
[ELF_E_ARGUMENT] Argument dst was null.
[ELF_E_CLASS] The ELF class of descriptor elf did not match that of the API function being called.
[ELF_E_HEADER] ELF descriptor elf does not have an associated header.
[ELF_E_RESOURCE] An out of memory condition was detected during execution.
[ELF_E_SECTION] The ELF descriptor in argument elf did not adhere to the conventions used for extended numbering.
[ELF_E_VERSION] The ELF descriptor elf had an unsupported ELF version number.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm

9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
