Please use .Xr elf_getshdrstrndx 3 instead. .Pp Function .Fn elf_getshstrndx retrieves the section index of the string table containing section names from descriptor .Ar elf and stores it into the location pointed to by argument .Ar ndxptr . .Pp Function .Fn elf_setshstrndx sets the index of the section name string table to argument .Ar ndx . .Pp These routines allow applications to process both normal ELF objects and ELF objects that use extended section numbering uniformly. .Sh RETURN VALUES These functions return a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error. .Sh ERRORS These functions can fail with the following errors: .Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]" .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT A NULL value was passed in for argument .Ar elf . .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT Argument .Ar elf was not for an ELF file. .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT Argument .Ar elf lacks an ELF Executable header. .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT Argument .Ar ndx contained a value in the reserved range of section indices. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr elf 3 , .Xr elf32_getehdr 3 , .Xr elf64_getehdr 3 , .Xr elf_getident 3 , .Xr elf_getphdrnum 3 , .Xr elf_getshdrnum 3 , .Xr gelf 3 , .Xr gelf_getehdr 3 |
