✨ GELF_GETMOVE(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Libelf Programmer's Manual 🎀 — today's episode is all about gelf_getmove, and honestly? she's giving niche Solaris energy and I'm obsessed 💅

💖 NAME 💖

gelf_getmove — get move structure at the given index 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gelf.h>

GElf_Move *gelf_getmove (Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Move *dst);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what she does is: she copies a move structure at index ndx out of an SHT_SUNW_move section that's associated with data, and drops it into a class-independent representation stored in *dst. no cap. 💜

data should be associated with an ELF section with type SHT_SUNW_move section. and data->d_type should be ELF_T_MOVE. 🫶

heads up bestie — these types are Sun/Solaris extensions and are not typically used in GNU/Linux ELF files. so if you're on Linux wondering why you never see them... yeah that's why 😭

🧚 PARAMETERS 🧚

  • data — pointer to an Elf_Data of an SHT_SUNW_move section. and data->d_type should be ELF_T_MOVE, okay? don't skip that part 💀
  • ndx — zero-based index of the move structure in data. zero-based, so first one is 0, main character behavior ⭐
  • dst — pointer to a caller-provided structure for storing the requested move entry. dst must not be NULL. literally do not do that 🙈

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

  • on success: she stores the requested move structure in dst and returns dst. slay 💅
  • on failure: NULL gets returned and elf_errno is set.
  • special case bestie: if data is NULL, then NULL is returned without setting elf_errno. noted, iconic, no notes 🌈
