ELF_RAWFILE(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					    ELF_RAWFILE(3)

NAME

     elf_rawfile -- return uninterpreted contents of an ELF file

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     char *
     elf_rawfile(Elf *elf, size_t *sz);

DESCRIPTION

     Function elf_rawfile() returns the uninterpreted contents of the file referenced by ELF descriptor elf.

     If argument sz is non-null, the function stores the file's size in bytes in the location to which it points.  A value of zero is written to
     this location if an error is encountered.

RETURN VALUES

     Function elf_rawfile() returns a valid pointer if successful or NULL if an error occurs.

ERRORS

     Function elf_rawfile() may fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was NULL.

     [ELF_E_SEQUENCE]  Argument elf was opened for writing and function elf_rawfile() was invoked before elf_update(3).

ELF_GETSHNUM(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   ELF_GETSHNUM(3)

NAME

     elf_getshnum -- return the number of sections in an ELF file

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     int
     elf_getshnum(Elf *elf, size_t *shnum);

DESCRIPTION

     This function is deprecated.  Please use elf_getshdrnum(3) instead.

     Function elf_getshnum() retrieves the number of ELF sections associated with descriptor elf and stores it into the location pointed to by
     argument shnum.

     This routine allows applications to uniformly process both normal ELF objects, and ELF objects that use extended section numbering.

RETURN VALUES

     Function elf_getshnum() returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.

ERRORS

     Function elf_getshnum() can fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  A NULL value was passed in for argument elf.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was not for an ELF file.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf lacks an ELF Executable header.
