.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
These functions translate between the file and memory representations
|
|
|
|
|
of ELF data structures.
|
|
|
|
|
The in-memory representation of an ELF data structure would confirm to
|
|
|
|
|
the byte ordering and data alignment restrictions dictated by the host
|
|
|
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
|
A file representation of the same data structure could use a non-native byte
|
|
|
|
|
ordering and in addition may be laid out differently with the file.

Argument
|
|
|
|

.Ar src

|
|

|
denotes an
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt Elf_Data
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor describing the source to be translated.
|
|
|
|
|
The following elements of the descriptor need to be set before
|
|
|
|
|
invoking these functions:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -hang -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_buf
|
|
|
|
|
Set to a valid pointer value denoting the beginning of the data area
|
|
|
|
|
to be translated.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_size
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the total size in bytes of the source data area to be
|
|
|
|
|
translated.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_type
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the type of the source data being translated.
|
|
|
|
|
This value is one of the values defined in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt Elf_Type
|
|
|
|
|
enumeration.
|
|
|
|
|
The
|

|
|
|
|
|
.Xr elf 3 .
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_version
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the version number of the ELF data structures being
|
|
|
|
|
translated.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently only version
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv EV_CURRENT
|
|
|

Argument
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar dst
|
|
|
|
|
describes the destination buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
The following elements of the
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt Elf_Data
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor need to be set before invoking these functions:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -hang -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_buf
|
|
|
|
|
Set to a valid pointer value that denotes the start of the destination
|
|
|
|
|
buffer that will hold translated data.
|
|
|
|
|
This value may be the same as that of the source buffer, in which case
|
|
|
|
|
an in-place conversion will be attempted.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_size
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the size of the destination buffer in bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
This value will be modified if the function call succeeds.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_version
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the desired version number of the destination.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently only version
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv EV_CURRENT
|
|
|
|
|
is supported.
|
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
These translations routines allow the source and destination buffers
|
|
|
|
|
to coincide, in which case an in-place translation will be done
|
|
|
|
|
if the destination is large enough to hold the translated data.
|
|
|
|
|
Other kinds of overlap between the source and destination buffers
|
|
|
|
|
are not permitted.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
On successful completion of the translation request the following
|
|
|
|
|
fields of the
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar dst
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor would be modified:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -hang -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_size
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the size in bytes of the translated data.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Va d_type
|
|
|
|
|
Set to the
|
|
|
|
|
.Va d_type
|
|
|
|
|
value of the source data descriptor.
