NAME
gelf_getrela,
gelf_update_rela —
read and update ELF relocation entries with addends
LIBRARY
ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <gelf.h>
GElf_Rela *
gelf_getrela(
Elf_Data
*data,
int ndx,
GElf_Rela *rela);
int
gelf_update_rela(
Elf_Data
*data,
int ndx,
GElf_Rela *rela);
DESCRIPTION
These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent
Elf32_Rela or
Elf64_Rela
structures in an ELF object.
Argument
data is an
Elf_Data
descriptor associated with a section of type
SHT_RELA
.
Argument
ndx is the index of the entry being retrieved
or updated. The class-independent
GElf_Rela structure is
described in
gelf(3).
Function
gelf_getrela() retrieves the class-dependent entry at
index
ndx in data buffer
data and
copies it to the destination pointed to by argument
rela
after translation to class-independent form.
Function
gelf_update_rela() converts the class-independent
entry pointed to by argument
rela to class-dependent
form, and writes it to the entry at index
ndx in the
data buffer described by argument
data. Function
gelf_update_rela() signals an error if any of the values in
the class-independent representation exceeds the representable limits of the
target type.
RETURN VALUES
Function
gelf_getrela() returns the value of argument
rela if successful, or NULL in case of an error.
Function
gelf_update_rela() returns a non-zero value if
successful, or zero in case of an error.
ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors:
-
-
- [
ELF_E_ARGUMENT
]
- Arguments data or
rela were NULL.
-
-
- [
ELF_E_ARGUMENT
]
- Argument ndx was less than zero or
larger than the number of entries in the data descriptor.
-
-
- [
ELF_E_ARGUMENT
]
- Data descriptor data was not
associated with a section of type
SHT_RELA
.
-
-
- [
ELF_E_RANGE
]
- A value was not representable in the target type.
