NAME

gelf_getrela, gelf_update_rela – read and update ELF relocation entries with addends

CONTENTS

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.
[ELF_E_VERSION] The Elf_Data descriptor denoted by argument data is associated with an ELF object with an unsupported version.
