The
elf_rand ();
function causes the ELF descriptor
archive
to be adjusted so that the next call to
elf_begin3
will provide access to the archive member at byte offset
offset
in the archive.
Argument
offset
is the byte offset from the start of the archive to the beginning of
the archive header for the desired member.
Archive member offsets may be retrieved using the
elf_getarsym3
function.
RETURN VALUES
Function
elf_rand ();
returns
offset
if successful or zero in case of an error.
EXAMPLES
To process all the members of an archive use:
off_t off;
Elf *archive, *e;
...
cmd = ELF_C_READ;
archive = elf_begin(fd, cmd, NULL);
while ((e = elf_begin(fd, cmd, archive)) != (Elf *) 0)
{
... process `e' here ...
elf_end(e);
off = ...new value...;
if (elf_rand(archive, off) != off) {
... process error ...
}
}
elf_end(archive);
