SYNOPSIS
     #include <libelf.h>

DESCRIPTION
     Function elf_rawfile() returns the uninterpreted contents of the file
     referenced by ELF descriptor elf.

     location if an error is encountered.

RETURN VALUES
     Function elf_rawfile() returns a valid pointer if successful or NULL if
     an error occurs.

ERRORS
     Function elf_rawfile() may fail with the following errors:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was NULL.

     [ELF_E_SEQUENCE]  Argument elf was opened for writing and function
                       elf_rawfile() was invoked before elf_update(3).
