Synopsis

#include <gelf.h>

int gelf_update_syminfo (Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Syminfo *src);

Description

Copy a class-independent additional symbol information entry from src into the SHT_SUNW_syminfo section associated with data at entry index ndx.

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 associated with an ELF section with type for a section with type SHT_SUNW_syminfo and data type ELF_T_SYMINFO.

ndx

Zero-based index of the entry in data to be updated.

src

Pointer to a caller-provided additional symbol information entry.  Must not be NULL.

Return Value

On success, this function returns a non-zero value and updates data with src at index ndx. The section associated with data is flagged with ELF_F_DIRTY. On failure, zero is returned and elf_errno is set.  If data is NULL, then zero is returned without setting elf_errno.
