NAME

gelf_getrel, gelf_update_relread and update ELF relocation entries

LIBRARY

ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

#include <gelf.h>

GElf_Rel *
gelf_getrel(Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Rel *rel);

int
gelf_update_rel(Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Rel *rel);

DESCRIPTION

These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent Elf32_Rel or Elf64_Rel structures in an ELF object.

Argument data is an Elf_Data descriptor associated with a section of type SHT_REL. Argument ndx is the index of the entry being retrieved or updated. The class-independent GElf_Rel structure is described in gelf(3).

Function gelf_getrel() retrieves the class-dependent entry at index ndx in data buffer data and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument rel after translation to class-independent form.

Function gelf_update_rel() converts the class-independent entry pointed to by argument rel to class-dependent form, and writes it to the entry at index ndx in the data buffer described by argument data. Function gelf_update_rel() 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_getrel() returns the value of argument rel if successful, or NULL in case of an error. Function gelf_update_rel() 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 rel 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_REL.
[ELF_E_RANGE]
A value was not representable in the target type.
