Function Documentation

get_soname_of_elf_file()

bool get_soname_of_elf_file	(	const string &	path,
		string &	soname
	)

Get the SONAME property of a designated ELF file.

Parameters

path	the path to the ELF file to consider.
soname	output parameter. This is set to the SONAME of the file located at path, iff this function return true.

Returns

true iff the SONAME property was found in the ELF file located at path and set into the argument of the parameter soname.

get_type_of_elf_file()

bool get_type_of_elf_file	(	const string &	path,
		elf::elf_type &	type
	)

Get the type of a given elf type.

Parameters

path	the absolute path to the ELF file to analyzed.
type	the kind of the ELF file designated by path.
out	parameter. Is set to the type of ELF file of path. This parameter is set iff the function returns true.

Returns

true iff the file could be opened and analyzed.
