retrieve the class-independent compression header for an ELF section with compressed data.

Synopsis

#include <gelf.h>

GElf_Chdr *gelf_getchdr (Elf_Scn *scn, GElf_Chdr *dest);

Retrieve the class-independent compression header for section scn with compressed data and store it in dest. Sections with compressed data are indicated with the SHF_COMPRESSED flag. See libelf(3) for more information regarding the compression header.

Parameters

scn: Section whose compression header will be retrieved. The section's SHF_COMPRESSED flag must be set.
dest: Pointer to a caller-provided GElf_Chdr structure that will receive the class-independent compression header for scn.

Return Value

On success, this function returns dest. On failure, it returns NULL and sets elf_errno. If scn is NULL, then NULL is returned and elf_errno is not set.
