Name

elf32_fsize - return the size of an object file type

Synopsis

#include <libelf.h>

size_t elf32_fsize(Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned ver);

MT-Level

Unsafe

Description

elf32_fsize() gives the size in bytes of the 32-bit file representation of count data objects with the given type. The library uses version ver to calculate the size (see elf(3E) and elf_version(3E) ).

Constant values are available for the sizes of fundamental types:


Elf_Type    File Size    Memory Size

ELF_T_ADDR    ELF32_FSZ_ADDR    sizeof(Elf32_Addr)
ELF_T_BYTE    1    sizeof(unsigned char)
ELF_T_HALF    ELF32_FSZ_HALF    sizeof(Elf32_Half)
ELT_T_OFF    ELF32_FSZ_OFF    sizeof(Elf32_Off)
ELF_T_SWORD    ELF32_FSZ_SWORD    sizeof(Elf32_Sword)
ELF_T_WORD    ELF32_FSZ_WORD    sizeof(Elf32_Word)

elf32_fsize() returns zero if the value of type or ver is unknown. See elf32_xlatetof(3E) for a list of the type values.
