NAME

       elf32_fsize, elf64_fsize - calculate the file size of an ELF data structure

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);

DESCRIPTION

       Given  an  Elf_Type  representation  of  a  core ELF structure as well as the number of items, return the
       number of bytes needed for the on-disk representation in a 32-bit or 64-bit ELF file.   The  on-disk  and
       in-memory  representations  of  Elf_Type  are  assumed to be the same. See libelf(3) for more information
       regarding Elf_Type.

PARAMETERS

       type   The ELF data structure type for which the file size is to be calculated.

       count  The number of elements of the specified type.

       version
              The ELF version. This should be set to EV_CURRENT, which is the only valid value.

RETURN VALUE

       The size in bytes of the specified count and type of data structure.  If version is not set to EV_CURRENT
       or  type is not a valid Elf_Type, return 0 and set a libelf error code. Integer overflow can occur if the
       size of type multiplied by count is greater than SIZE_MAX.
