elf_open
()
and elf_openmemory
() are extensions to the ELF(3) API,
for the internal use of the Elftoolchain project. Portable applications should
not use these functions.
The function elf_open
() returns an Elf
descriptor opened with mode ELF_C_READ
for the ELF
object or ar(1) archive referenced
by the file descriptor in argument fd.
The function elf_openmemory
() returns an
ELF descriptor opened with mode ELF_C_READ
for the
ELF object or ar(1) archive
contained in the memory area pointed to by the argument
image. The argument sz specifies
the size of the memory area in bytes.
The behavior of these functions differs from their counterparts
elf_begin(3) and
elf_memory(3) in that
these functions will successfully open malformed ELF objects and
ar(1) archives, returning an Elf
descriptor of type ELF_K_NONE
.
