GELF_GETEHDR(3)	       FreeBSD Library Functions Manual	       GELF_GETEHDR(3)

NAME
     elf32_getehdr, elf64_getehdr, gelf_getehdr	-- retrieve the	object file
     header

LIBRARY
     ELF Parsing Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libelf.h>

     Elf32_Ehdr	*
     elf32_getehdr(Elf *elf);

     Elf64_Ehdr	*
     elf64_getehdr(Elf *elf);

     #include <gelf.h>

     GElf_Ehdr *
     gelf_getehdr(Elf *elf, GElf_Ehdr *dst);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions retrieve the ELF object file header from the ELF descrip-
     tor elf and return	a translated header descriptor to their	callers.

     Functions elf32_getehdr() and elf64_getehdr() return a pointer to the ap-
     propriate class-specific header descriptor	if it exists in	the file ref-
     erenced by	descriptor elf.	 These functions return	NULL if	an ELF header
     was not found in file elf.

     Function gelf_getehdr() stores a translated copy of the header for	ELF
     file elf into the descriptor pointed to by	argument dst.  It returns ar-
     gument dst	if successful or NULL in case of failure.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return a pointer to a translated header descriptor	if
     successful, or NULL on failure.

ERRORS
     These functions can fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  The argument elf	was null.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument	elf was	not a descriptor for an	ELF file.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  The elf class of	descriptor elf was not recognized.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument	dst was	null.

     [ELF_E_CLASS]     The ELF class of	descriptor elf did not match that of
		       the API function	being called.

     [ELF_E_HEADER]    ELF descriptor elf does not have	an associated header.

     [ELF_E_RESOURCE]  An out of memory	condition was detected during execu-
		       tion.

     [ELF_E_SECTION]   The ELF descriptor in argument elf did not adhere to
		       the conventions used for	extended numbering.

     [ELF_E_VERSION]   The ELF descriptor elf had an unsupported ELF version
		       number.
