ldshread(3)
NAME
  ldshread, ldnshread - read an indexed/named section header of a common
  object file

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

  int ldshread(
	  LDFILE *ldptr,
	  unsigned short sectindx,
	  SCNHDR *secthead );

  int ldnshread(
	  LDFILE *ldptr,
	  char *sectname,
	  SCNHDR *secthead );

DESCRIPTION
  The ldshread() routine reads the section header specified by sectindx of
  the common object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of
  memory beginning at secthead.

  The ldnshread() routine reads the section header specified by sectname into
  the area of memory beginning at secthead.

  Both routines return SUCCESS or FAILURE. If sectindx is greater than the
  number of sections in the object file, ldshread() fails, If there is no
  section name corresponding with sectname, ldnshread() fails. If it cannot
  read the specified section header, either function fails.

  Note: The first section header has an index of one.

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