SYNOPSIS

#include
<libelf.h>
Elf_Cmd elf_next(Elf *elf);
DESCRIPTION
elf_next,
elf_rand,
and
elf_begin
manipulate simple object
files and archives.
elf
is an ELF descriptor previously returned from
elf_begin.
elf_next
provides sequential access to the next archive
member. That is, having an ELF descriptor,
elf,
associated with an archive member,
elf_next
prepares the containing
archive to access the following member when the program calls
elf_begin.
After successfully positioning an archive for the
next member,
elf_next
returns the value
ELF_C_READ.
Otherwise, the open file was not an archive,
elf
was null, or
an error occurred, and the return value is
ELF_C_NULL.
In either case, the return value may be passed as an argument to
elf_begin,
specifying the appropriate action.
