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.
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.
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.
