Detailed Description

ELF byte swap library.

These functions byte swap ELF file structures for portability between big-endian PPC machines and little-endian x86 machines. The macros call the appropriate swap function when running on a littile endian machine, but are memory copies on a big endian machine.

Function Documentation

void ELF_swapEhdr (  const Elf32_Ehdr *  inEhdr, Elf32_Ehdr *  outEhdr )

Byte swap an ELF file header. Byte swaps an ELF file header structure. Parameters: inEhdr  A pointer to the ELF header. outEhdr  A buffer to hold the swapped output.

void ELF_swapRela (  const Elf32_Rela *  inRela, Elf32_Rela *  outRela, int  numEntries )

Byte swap an ELF relocation table. Byte swaps an ELF relocation table. Parameters: inRela  A pointer to the first entry in the relocation table. outRela  A buffer to hold the swapped output. numEntries  The number of entries in the relocation table.

void ELF_swapShdr (  const Elf32_Shdr *  inShdr, Elf32_Shdr *  outShdr, int  numEntries )

Byte swap an ELF file section header table. Byte swaps an ELF section header table. Parameters: inShdr  A pointer to the first entry in the section header table. outShdr  A buffer to hold the swapped output. numEntries  The number of entries in the section header table.

void ELF_swapSym (  const Elf32_Sym *  inSym, Elf32_Sym *  outSym, int  numEntries )

Byte swap an ELF file symbol table. Byte swaps an ELF symbol table. Parameters: inSym  A pointer to the first entry in the symbol table. outSym  A buffer to hold the swapped output. numEntries  The number of entries in the symbol table.
