.Sh NAME
.Nm dl_iterate_phdr
.Nd iterate over program headers
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <link.h>
.Ft int
.Fn dl_iterate_phdr "int (*callback)(struct dl_phdr_info *, size_t, void*)" "void *data"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn dl_iterate_phdr
function iterates over all shared objects loaded into a process's
address space, calling
.Fa callback
for each shared object, passing it information about the object's
program headers and the
.Fa data
argument.
The information about the program headers is passed in a structure
that is defined as:
.Bd -literal
struct dl_phdr_info {
	Elf_Addr	dlpi_addr;
	const char	*dlpi_name;
	const Elf_Phdr	*dlpi_phdr;
	Elf_Half	dlpi_phnum;
};
.Ed
.Pp
The members of
.Li struct dl_phdr_info
have the following meaning:
.Bl -tag -width XXXdlpi_phdr
.It Fa dlpi_addr
The base address at which the shared object is mapped into the address
space of the calling process.
.It Fa dlpi_name
The name of the shared object.
.It Fa dlpi_phdr
A pointer to the shared object's program headers.
.It Fa dlpi_phnum
The number of program headers in the shared object.
.El
.Pp
Future versions of
.Ox
might add more members to this structure.
To make it possible for programs to check whether any new members have
been added, the size of the structure is passed as an argument to
.Fa callback .
