ELF32_FSZ_TYPE

These constants give the ﬁle sizes in bytes of the basic ELF types for the 32-bit

class of ﬁles. See elf_fsize for more information.

ELF64_FSZ_TYPE

These constants give the ﬁle sizes in bytes of the basic ELF types for the 64-bit

class of ﬁles. See elf_fsize for more information.

ELF_K_KIND The function elf_kind identiﬁes the KIND of ﬁle associated with an ELF

descriptor. These values are members of the

Elf_Kind

enumeration; they range

from zero through

ELF_K_NUM-1 .

ELF_T_TYPE When a service function, such as elf_xlate

, deals with multiple types, names of

this form specify the desired TYPE. Thus, for example,

ELF_T_EHDR is directly

related to

Elf32_Ehdr These values are members of the

Elf_Type enumera-

tion; they range from zero through

ELF_T_NUM-1 .

Note

Information in the ELF header ﬁles is separated into common parts and processor-speciﬁc parts. A pro-

gram can make a processor’s information available by including the appropriate header ﬁle:

sys/elf_NAME.h where NAME matches the processor name as used in the ELF ﬁle header.

Symbol Processor

parisc PA RISC

Other processors will be added to the table as necessary. To illustrate, a program could use the following

code to ‘‘see’’ the processor-speciﬁc information for the WE 32100.

#include <libelf.h>

#include <sys/elf_M32.h>

Without the sys/elf_M32.h deﬁnition, only the common ELF information would be visible.
