29.Sh NAME
30.Nm gelf_getmove ,

32.Nd read and update Elf Move information
33.Sh LIBRARY
34.Lb libelf
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In gelf.h
37.Ft "GElf_Move *"
38.Fn gelf_getmove "Elf_Data *data" "int ndx" "GElf_Move *move"
39.Ft int
40.Fn gelf_update_move "Elf_Data *data" "int ndx" "GElf_Move *move"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent
43.Vt Elf32_Move
44and
45.Vt Elf64_Move
46structures in an ELF object.
47.Pp
48Argument
49.Ar data
50is an
51.Vt Elf_Data
52descriptor associated with a section of type
53.Dv SHT_SUNW_move .
54Argument
55.Ar ndx
56is the index of the move record being retrieved or updated.
57The class-independent
58.Vt GElf_Move
59structure is described in
60.Xr gelf 3 .
61.Pp
62Function
63.Fn gelf_getmove
64retrieves class-dependent move record at index
65.Ar ndx
66in data buffer
67.Ar data
68and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument
69.Ar move
70after translation to class-independent form.
71.Pp
72Function
73.Fn gelf_update_move
74converts the class-independent move information pointed to
75by argument
76.Ar move
77to class-dependent form, and writes it to the move record at index
78.Ar ndx
79in the data buffer described by argument
80.Ar data .
81Function
82.Fn gelf_update_move
83signals an error if any of the values in the class-independent
84representation exceeds the representable limits of the target
85type.
86.Sh RETURN VALUES
87Function
88.Fn gelf_getmove
89returns the value of argument
90.Ar move
91if successful, or NULL in case of an error.
92Function
93.Fn gelf_update_move
94returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.
95.Sh ERRORS
96These functions may fail with the following errors:
97.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
98.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
99Arguments
100.Ar data
101or
102.Ar move
103were NULL.
104.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
105Argument
106.Ar ndx
107was less than zero or larger than the number of records in the data
108descriptor.
109.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
110Data descriptor
111.Ar data
112was not associated with a section containing move information.
113.It Bq Er ELF_E_RANGE
114A value was not representable in the target type.
115.It Bq Er ELF_E_VERSION
116The
117.Vt Elf_Data
118descriptor denoted by argument
119.Ar data
120is associated with an ELF object with an unsupported version.
