33 .Nd return the checksum of an ELF object
39 .Fn elf32_checksum "Elf *elf"
41 .Fn elf64_checksum "Elf *elf"
44 .Fn gelf_checksum "Elf *elf"
46 These functions return a simple checksum of the ELF object described
49 The checksum is computed in way that allows its value to remain
50 unchanged in presence of modifications to the ELF object by utilities
56 returns a checksum for an ELF descriptor
63 returns a checksum for an ELF descriptor
70 provides a class-independent way retrieving the checksum
74 These functions return the checksum of the ELF object, or zero in case
75 an error was encountered.
77 These functions may fail with the following errors:
78 .Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
79 .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
83 .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
86 was not a descriptor for an ELF file.
87 .It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
90 was not opened for reading or updating.
98 did not match the class of the called function.
99 .It Bq Er ELF_E_HEADER
100 The ELF object specified by argument
102 had a malformed executable header.
103 .It Bq Er ELF_E_RESOURCE
104 An out of memory condition was detected during processing.
105 .It Bq Er ELF_E_SECTION
106 The ELF object specified by argument
108 contained a section with a malformed section header.
109 .It Bq Er ELF_E_VERSION
110 The ELF object was of an unsupported version.
