GELF_FSIZE(3)            BSD Library Functions Manual            GELF_FSIZE(3)

NAME
     gelf_fsize, elf32_fsize, elf64_fsize -- return the size of a file type

LIBRARY
     ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libelf.h>

     size_t
     elf32_fsize(Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);

     size_t
     elf64_fsize(Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);

     #include <gelf.h>

     size_t
     gelf_fsize(Elf *elf, Elf_Type type, size_t count, unsigned int version);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions return the size in bytes of the file representation of
     count numbers of objects of ELF type type.

     Functions elf32_fsize() and elf64_fsize() return sizes for files of class
     ELFCLASS32 and ELFCLASS64 respectively.  Function gelf_fsize() returns
     the size for the class of ELF descriptor elf.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return a non-zero value in case of success, or zero in
     case of an error.

ERRORS
     These functions may fail with:

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument elf was NULL in a call to gelf_fsize().

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  ELF descriptor elf had an unknown ELF class.

     [ELF_E_ARGUMENT]  Argument type contained an illegal value.

     [ELF_E_UNIMPL]    Support for ELF type type has not been implemented.

     [ELF_E_VERSION]   Argument version is not a supported version.
