42 These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent
46 structures in an ELF object.
52 descriptor associated with a section of type
59 is the index of the symbol being retrieved or updated.
62 structure is described in
67 retrieves class-dependent symbol information at index
71 and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument
73 after translation to class-independent form.
77 converts the class-independent symbol information pointed to
80 to class-dependent form, and writes it to the symbol entry at index
82 in the data buffer described by argument
86 signals an error if any of the values in the class-independent
87 representation exceeds the representable limits of the target
92 returns the value of argument
94 if successful, or NULL in case of an error.
97 returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.
99 These functions may fail with the following errors:
