GELF_GETSHDR(3)           Libelf Programmer's Manual           GELF_GETSHDR(3)



NAME
       gelf_getshdr - retrieve a section header into a class-independent
       structure


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gelf.h>

       GElf_Shdr *gelf_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn, GElf_Shdr *dst);


DESCRIPTION
       gelf_getshdr() retrieves the section header associated with the section
       descriptor scn, translating it into the class-independent GElf_Shdr
       representation. The header is copied into the structure referenced by
       dst.


PARAMETERS
       scn    Pointer to a section descriptor of type Elf_Scn.


       dst    Pointer to a caller-provided GElf_Shdr structure to receive the
              section header.


RETURN VALUE
       On success, gelf_getshdr() stores the section header in dst and returns
       dst.  On failure, NULL is returned and elf_errno is set.  If scn is
       NULL then NULL is returned without setting elf_errno.
