ldclose(3)
NAME
  ldclose, ldaclose - close a common object file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <stdio.h>

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

  int ldclose(
	  LDFILE *ldptr );

  int ldaclose(
	  LDFILE *ldptr );

DESCRIPTION
  The ldopen() and ldclose() functions provide uniform access to simple
  object files and object files that are members of archive files. An archive
  of common object files can be processed as if it is a series of simple
  common object files.

  If TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file, ldclose() closes the
  file and frees the memory allocated to the LDFILE structure associated with
  ldptr. If TYPE(ldptr) is the magic number for an archive file and if
  archive has more files, ldclose() reinitializes OFFSET(ldptr) to the file
  address of the next archive member and returns FAILURE. The LDFILE
  structure is prepared for a later ldopen. In all other cases, ldclose()
  returns SUCCESS.

  The ldaclose() routine closes the file and frees the memory allocated to
  the LDFILE structure associated with ldptr, regardless of the value of
  TYPE(ldptr).	ldaclose() always returns SUCCESS. The function is often used
  with ldaopen().

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