ELF Library Functions                           elf_getbase(3ELF)



NAME
     elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lelf [ library ... ]
     #include 

     off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);


DESCRIPTION
     The elf_getbase() function returns the file  offset  of  the
     first  byte  of  the  file or archive member associated with
     elf, if it is known or obtainable, and -1 otherwise. A  null
     elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return value
     in this case is -1. The base offset of an archive member  is
     the beginning of the member's information, not the beginning
     of the archive member header.
