Auxiliary Headers
The auxiliary headers are contained in a single contiguous area in the file, and are located by a pointer in
the file header. Auxiliary headers are used for two purposes: to attach users’ version and copyright strings
to an object file, and to contain the information needed to load an executable program. In an executable
program, the HP-UX auxiliary header must precede all other auxiliary headers. The following declarations
are found in <aouthdr.h> .
struct aux_id {
unsigned int mandatory : 1; /* linker must understand aux hdr info */
unsigned int copy : 1; /* copy aux hdr without modification */
unsigned int append : 1; /* merge multiple entries of same type */
unsigned int ignore : 1; /* ignore aux hdr if type unknown */
unsigned int reserved : 12; /* reserved */
unsigned int type : 16; /* aux hdr type */
unsigned int length; /* sizeof rest of aux hdr */
};
/* Values for the aux_id.type field */
