.Os
.Dt ELF_GETDATA 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm elf_getdata ,
.Nm elf_newdata ,
.Nm elf_rawdata
.Nd iterate through or allocate section data
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libelf
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libelf.h
.Ft "Elf_Data *"
.Fn elf_getdata "Elf_Scn *scn" "Elf_Data *data"
.Ft "Elf_Data *"
.Fn elf_newdata "Elf_Scn *scn"
.Ft "Elf_Data *"
.Fn elf_rawdata "Elf_Scn *scn" "Elf_Data *data"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to access and manipulate data descriptors
associated with section descriptors.
Data descriptors used by the ELF library are described in
.Xr elf 3 .
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf_getdata
will return the next data descriptor associated with section descriptor
.Ar scn .
The returned data descriptor will be setup to contain translated data.
Argument
.Ar data
may be NULL, in which case the function returns the first data descriptor
associated with section
.Ar scn .
If argument
.Ar data
is not NULL, it must be a pointer to a data descriptor associated with
section descriptor
.Ar scn ,
and function
.Fn elf_getdata
will return a pointer to the next data descriptor for the section,
or NULL when the end of the section's descriptor list is reached.
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf_newdata
will allocate a new data descriptor and append it to the list of data
descriptors associated with section descriptor
.Ar scn .
The new data descriptor will be initialized as follows:
.Bl -tag -width "d_version" -compact -offset indent
.It Va d_align
Set to 1.
.It Va d_buf
Initialized to NULL.
.It Va d_off
Set to (off_t) -1.
This field is under application control if the
.Dv ELF_F_LAYOUT
flag was set on the ELF descriptor.
.It Va d_size
Set to zero.
.It Va d_type
Initialized to
.Dv ELF_T_BYTE .
.It Va d_version
Set to the current working version of the library, as set by
.Xr elf_version 3 .
.El
The application must set these values as appropriate before
calling
.Xr elf_update 3 .
Section
.Ar scn
must be associated with an ELF file opened for writing.
If the application has not requested full control of layout by
setting the
.Dv ELF_F_LAYOUT
flag on descriptor
.Ar elf ,
then the data referenced by the returned descriptor will be positioned
after the existing content of the section, honoring the file alignment
specified in member
.Va d_align .
On successful completion of a call to
.Fn elf_newdata ,
the ELF library will mark the section
.Ar scn
as
.Dq dirty .
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf_rawdata
is used to step through the data descriptors associated with
section
.Ar scn .
In contrast to function
.Fn elf_getdata ,
this function returns untranslated data.
If argument
.Ar data
is NULL, the first data descriptor associated with section
.Ar scn
is returned.
If argument
.Ar data
is not NULL, is must be a data descriptor associated with
section
.Ar scn ,
and function
.Fn elf_rawdata
will return the next data descriptor in the list, or NULL
if no further descriptors are present.
Function
.Fn elf_rawdata
always returns
.Vt Elf_Data
structures of type
.Dv ELF_T_BYTE .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return a valid pointer to a data descriptor if successful, or
NULL if an error occurs.
.Sh ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors:
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
Arguments
.Ar scn
was NULL.
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
Data descriptor
.Ar data
was not associated with section descriptor
.Ar scn .
.It Bq Er ELF_E_RESOURCE
An out of memory condition was detected.
