GETSEGBYNAME(3)                                                GETSEGBYNAME(3)



NAME
       getsegbyname - get the segment command for the named segment

SYNOPSIS
       ##include <>

       const struct segmentcommand *getsegbyname(const char *segname);

DESCRIPTION
       This  routine  returns the segmentcommand structure for the named seg-
       ment if it exists in the  Mach-O  (Mach  object)  executable  getsegby-
       name(3)  is  linked  into.  Otherwise getsegbyname(3) returns NUL.  It
       uses the link editor defined symbol mhexecuteheader and  just  looks
       through the load commands.  Since these are mapped into the TEXT seg-
       ment they are read-only and thus const by default.

SEE ALSO
