NAME

     elf_getbase -- get the base offset for an object file


LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     off_t
     elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

     to regular objects, the returned offset is (vacuously) zero.


RETURN VALUES

     Function elf_getbase() returns a valid file offset if successful, or
     (off_t) -1 in case of an error.


ERRORS

     Function elf_getbase() may fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was NULL.
