Reads the file header of a common object file.
Object File Access Routine Library (libld.a)
#include <stdio.h> #include <filehdr.h> #include <ldfcn.h>
int ldfhread (ldPointer, FileHeader) LDFILE *ldPointer; FILHDR *FileHeader;
The ldfhread subroutine reads the file header of the common object file currently associated with the ldPointer parameter into the area of memory beginning at the FileHeader parameter.
| ldPointer | Points to the LDFILE structure that was returned as the result of a successful call to ldopen or ldaopen subroutine. |
| FileHeader | Points to a FILHDR structure. |
The ldfhread subroutine returns a success or failure value.
The ldfhread subroutine fails if it cannot read the file header.
Note: In most cases, the use of ldfhread can be avoided by using the header (ldPointer) macro defined in the ldfcn.h file. The information in any field or fieldname of the header file may be accessed using the header (ldPointer) fieldname macro.
This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
The ldahread subroutine, ldgetname subroutine, ldlread, ldlinit or ldlitem subroutine, ldshread or ldnshread subroutine, ldtbread subroutine.
