NAME
elf_next - sequential archive member access
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag... ] file... -lelf [library] ...
#include <libelf.h>
Elf_Cmd elf_next(Elf *elf);
DESCRIPTION
elf_next, elf_rand, and elf_begin manipulate simple object files and archives. elf is an ELF
descriptor previously returned from elf_begin.
elf_next provides sequential access to the next archive member. That is, having an ELF descriptor, elf,
associated with an archive member, elf_next prepares the containing archive to access the following
member when the program calls elf_begin. After successfully positioning an archive for the next
member, elf_next returns the value ELF_C_READ . Otherwise, the open file was not an archive, elf
was null, or an error occurred, and the return value is ELF_C_NULL. In either case, the return value may
be passed as an argument to elf_begin, specifying the appropriate action.
