Not yet, but this is exactly what I need indeed... Sorry, I didn't find 
it in the documentation at first sight.

My point was exactly to not depend of a file, so not opening the file is 
quite enough for me.

I didn't find the documentation for this function, but I'll look in the 
code of binutils.

Thans a lot for these hints !
