ldfhread(3)
NAME
  ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <stdio.h>

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

  int ldfhread(
	  LDFILE *ldptr,
	  FILHDR *filehead );

DESCRIPTION
  The ldfhread() routine reads the file header of the common object file
  currently associated with ldptr. It reads the file header into the area of
  memory beginning at filehead.

  The ldfhread() routine returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If ldfhread() cannot
  read the file header, it fails.

  Usually, ldfhread() can be avoided by using the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined
  in <ldfcn.h> (see ldfcn(4)). Note that the information in HEADER is
  swapped, if necessary. The information in any field, fieldname, of the file
  header can be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.

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