20.Sh NAME
21.Nm dl_iterate_phdr
22.Nd iterate over program headers
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Fd #include <link.h>
25.Ft int
26.Fn dl_iterate_phdr "int (*callback)(struct dl_phdr_info *, size_t, void*)" "void *data"
27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28The
29.Fn dl_iterate_phdr
30function iterates over all shared objects loaded into a process's
31address space, calling
32.Fa callback
33for each shared object, passing it information about the object's
34program headers and the
35.Fa data
36argument.
37The information about the program headers is passed in a structure
38that is defined as:
39.Bd -literal
40struct dl_phdr_info {
41	Elf_Addr	dlpi_addr;
42	const char	*dlpi_name;
43	const Elf_Phdr	*dlpi_phdr;
44	Elf_Half	dlpi_phnum;
45};
46.Ed
47.Pp
48The members of
49.Li struct dl_phdr_info
50have the following meaning:
51.Bl -tag -width XXXdlpi_phdr
52.It Fa dlpi_addr
53The base address at which the shared object is mapped into the address
54space of the calling process.
55.It Fa dlpi_name
56The name of the shared object.
57.It Fa dlpi_phdr
58A pointer to the shared object's program headers.
59.It Fa dlpi_phnum
60The number of program headers in the shared object.
61.El
62.Pp
63Future versions of
64.Ox
65might add more members to this structure.
66To make it possible for programs to check whether any new members have
67been added, the size of the structure is passed as an argument to
68.Fa callback .
