NAME
elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file ... -lelf [library ...] #include <libelf.h> off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);
DESCRIPTION
elf_getbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the file or archive member associated with elf, if it is known or obtainable, and -1 otherwise. A null elf is allowed, to simplify error handling; the return value in this case is -1. The base offset of an archive member is the beginning of the member's information, not the beginning of the archive member header.
