SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <libelf.h>

     off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
