       elf_nextscn - Return the next section in an ELF descriptor.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libelf.h>

       Elf_Scn *elf_nextscn(Elf *elf, Elf_Scn *scn);

DESCRIPTION

       The elf_nextscn() function returns a handle to the next section in the ELF object descriptor elf.  If scn
       is NULL, the first section (with index 1) is returned. Section index 0 is reserved and skipped.

       If  scn  is not NULL, the section immediately following it is returned. If there are no further sections,
       NULL is returned.

PARAMETERS

       elf    A pointer to an ELF descriptor.

       scn    A section handle returned by elf_getscn(3), or NULL to begin iteration.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the next Elf_Scn structure in the section  list,  or  NULL  if  there  are  no  more
       sections or if elf is NULL.
