DL_ITERATE_PHDR(3)

NAME
dl_iterate_phdr - iterate over program headers

SYNOPSIS
#include <link.h>
int
dl_iterate_phdr(int (*callback)(struct dl_phdr_info *, size_t, void*), void *data);

DESCRIPTION
The dl_iterate_phdr() function iterates over all shared objects loaded into a process's address space, calling callback for each shared object, passing it information about the object's program headers and the data argument. The information about the program headers is passed in a structure that is defined as:

    struct dl_phdr_info {
    	Elf_Addr	dlpi_addr;
    	const char	*dlpi_name;
    	const Elf_Phdr	*dlpi_phdr;
    	Elf_Half	dlpi_phnum;
    };

The members of struct dl_phdr_info have the following meaning:

dlpi_addr
    The base address at which the shared object is mapped into the address space of the calling process.

dlpi_name
    The name of the shared object.

dlpi_phdr
    A pointer to the shared object's program headers.

dlpi_phnum
    The number of program headers in the shared object.

Future versions of OpenBSD might add more members to this structure. To make it possible for programs to check whether any new members have been added, the size of the structure is passed as an argument to callback.
