GElf_Syminfo *gelf_getsyminfo (Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Syminfo *dst);

Description

Copy the additional symbol information entry from data at index ndx into the class-independent GElf_Syminfo structure pointed to by dst.

data should be associated with an ELF section with type SHT_SUNW_syminfo and data type ELF_T_SYMINFO. These types are Sun/Solaris extensions and are not typically used in GNU/Linux ELF files.

Parameters

data

Pointer to an Elf_Data for a section with type SHT_SUNW_syminfo and data type ELF_T_SYMINFO.

ndx

Zero-based index of the additional symbol table information entry within data.

dst

Pointer to a caller-provided structure for storing the additional symbol information entry.  Must not be NULL.

Return Value

On success, this function copies the requested additional symbol information entry into *dst and returns dst. On failure, NULL is returned and elf_errno is set.  If data is NULL, then NULL is returned without setting elf_errno.
