GELF_FSIZE(3)              Library Functions Manual              GELF_FSIZE(3)

NAME
     gelf_fsize, elf32_fsize, elf64_fsize - return the size of a file type

LIBRARY
     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libelf.h>

     size_t
     elf32_fsize(Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);

     size_t
     elf64_fsize(Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);

     #include <gelf.h>

     size_t
     gelf_fsize(Elf *elf, Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions return the size in bytes of the file representation of
     count numbers of objects of ELF type type.  For ELF types that are of
     variable length, these functions return a size of one byte.

     Functions elf32_fsize() and elf64_fsize() return sizes for files of class
     ELFCLASS32 and ELFCLASS64 respectively.  Function gelf_fsize() returns
     the size for the class of ELF descriptor elf.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return a non-zero value in case of success, or zero in
     case of an error.

ERRORS
     These functions may fail with:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was NULL in a call to gelf_fsize().

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  ELF descriptor elf had an unknown ELF class.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument type contained an illegal value.

     [ELF_E_UNIMPL]    Support for ELF type type has not been implemented.

     [ELF_E_VERSION]   Argument version is not a supported version.
