NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       ldsseek,  ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of a
       common object file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       int ldsseek(
               LDFILE *ldptr,
               unsigned short sectindx ); int ldnsseek(
               LDFILE *ldptr,
               char *sectname );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  ldsseek()  routine  seeks to the section specified by
       sectindx of the common object  file  currently  associated
       with ldptr.

       The  ldnsseek()  routine seeks to the section specified by
       sectname.

       Both routines return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If  sectindx  is
       greater  than  the  number of sections in the object file,
       ldsseek() fails; if there is no section name corresponding
       with  sectname,  ldnsseek()  fails. If there is no section
       data for the specified section or if it cannot seek to the
       specified section, either function fails.

       Note: The first section has an index of one.

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