NAME
elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file
SYNOPSIS
cc [
flag ... ]
file ...
-lelf [
library ... ]
#include <libelf.h>
off_t elf_getbase(
Elf *elf);
DESCRIPTION
The
elf_getbase() function returns the file offset of the first byte
of the file or archive member associated with
elf, if it is known or
obtainable, and
-1 otherwise. A null
elf is allowed, to simplify
error handling; the return value in this case is
-1. The base offset
of an archive member is the beginning of the member's information,
not the beginning of the archive member header.
