NAME

     elf_rawfile - return uninterpreted contents of an ELF file

LIBRARY

     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libelf.h>

     char *
     elf_rawfile(Elf *elf, size_t *sz);

DESCRIPTION

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

     If argument sz is non-null, the function stores the file's size in bytes
     in the location to which it points.  A value of zero is written to this
     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).
