A value of zero for argument .Ar count may be used to delete an existing program header table from an ELF descriptor. .Pp Function .Fn gelf_newphdr will return a table of .Vt Elf32_Phdr or .Vt Elf64_Phdr with .Ar count elements depending on the ELF class of ELF descriptor .Ar elf . .Pp The functions set the .Dv ELF_F_DIRTY flag on the program header table. All members of the returned array of Phdr structures will be initialized to zero. .Pp After a successful call to these functions, the pointer returned by a prior call to .Fn elf32_getphdr or .Fn elf64_getphdr on the same descriptor .Ar elf will no longer be valid. .Sh RETURN VALUES The functions a valid pointer if successful, or NULL in case an error was encountered. .Sh ERRORS These functions may fail with the following errors: .Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]" .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT Argument .Ar elf was NULL. .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT Argument .Ar elf was not a descriptor for an ELF object. .It Bq Er ELF_E_CLASS ELF descriptor .Ar elf was of an unrecognized class. .It Bq Er ELF_E_RESOURCE An out of memory condition was detected. .It Bq Er ELF_E_SEQUENCE An executable header was not allocated for ELF descriptor .Ar elf before using these APIs. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr elf 3 , .Xr elf32_getphdr 3 , .Xr elf32_newehdr 3 , .Xr elf64_getphdr 3 , .Xr elf64_newehdr 3 , .Xr elf_flagphdr 3 , .Xr elf_getphnum 3 , .Xr gelf 3 , .Xr gelf_getphdr 3 , .Xr gelf_newehdr 3 , .Xr elf 5
