elf_getshdr(3E)                (ELF Library)                elf_getshdr(3E)


   NAME
         elf_getshdr: elf32_getshdr - retrieve class-dependent section header

   SYNOPSIS
         cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

         #include <libelf.h>
         Elf32_Shdr *elf32_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);

   DESCRIPTION
         For a 32-bit class file, elf32_getshdr returns a pointer to a section
         header for the section descriptor scn.  Otherwise, the file is not a
         32-bit class file, scn was null, or an error occurred; elf32_getshdr
         then returns null.

         The header includes the following members.

                      Elf32_Word      sh_name;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_type;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_flags;
                      Elf32_Addr      sh_addr;
                      Elf32_Off       sh_offset;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_size;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_link;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_info;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_addralign;
                      Elf32_Word      sh_entsize;

         If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating
         the file's ELF header before creating sections.
