Function elf_rawfile() returns the uninterpreted contents of the file referenced by ELF descriptor elf.

If argument sz is non-null, the function stores the file's size in bytes in the location to which it points. A value of zero is written to this location if an error is encountered.

Function elf_rawfile() returns a valid pointer if successful or NULL if an error occurs.

Function elf_rawfile() may fail with the following errors:

[ELF_E_ARGUMENT]
	Argument elf was NULL.
[ELF_E_SEQUENCE]
	Argument elf was opened for writing and function elf_rawfile() was invoked before elf_update(3).
