LDFHREAD(3X)         INTERACTIVE UNIX System         LDFHREAD(3X)



          NAME
               ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file

          SYNOPSIS
               #include <stdio.h>
               #include <filehdr.h>
               #include <ldfcn.h>


               int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
               LDFILE *ldptr;
               FILHDR *filehead;

          DESCRIPTION
               The ldfhread function reads the file header of the common
               object file currently associated with ldptr into the area of
               memory beginning at filehead.

               ldfhread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.  ldfhread will fail if
               it cannot read the file header.

               In most cases the use of ldfhread can be avoided by using
               the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined in ldfcn.h [see ldfcn (4)].
               The information in any field, fieldname, of the file header
               may be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.

               The program must be loaded with the object file access rou-
               tine library libld.a.
