ldsseek(3)
NAME
  ldsseek, ldnsseek - seek to an indexed/named section of a common object
  file

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

  int ldsseek (ldptr, sectindx)
  LDFILE *ldptr;
  unsigned short sectindx;

  int ldnsseek (ldptr, sectname)
  LDFILE *ldptr;
  char *sectname;

DESCRIPTION
  ldsseek seeks to the section specified by sectindx of the common object
  file currently associated with ldptr.

  ldnsseek seeks to the section specified by sectname.

  ldsseek and ldnsseek return SUCCESS or FAILURE.  If sectindx is greater
  than the number of sections in the object file, ldsseek fails; if there is
  no section name corresponding with sectname, ldnsseek fails.	If there is
  no section data for the specified section or if it cannot seek to the
  specified section, either function fails.

  NOTE: The first section has an index of one.

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