GElf_Sym *
gelf_getsym(Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Sym *sym);
int
gelf_update_sym(Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Sym *sym);
Argument data is an Elf_Data descriptor associated with a section of type SHT_SYMTAB, SHT_DYNSYM or SHT_GNU_versym. Argument ndx is the index of the symbol being retrieved or updated. The class-independent GElf_Sym structure is described in gelf(3).
Function gelf_getsym() retrieves class-dependent symbol information at index ndx in data buffer data and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument sym after translation to class-independent form.
Function gelf_update_sym() converts the class-independent symbol information pointed to by argument sym to class-dependent form, and writes it to the symbol entry at index ndx in the data buffer described by argument data. Function gelf_update_sym() signals an error if any of the values in the class-independent representation exceeds the representable limits of the target type.
