ELF32_FSIZE(3)		   Libelf Programmer's Manual		  ELF32_FSIZE(3)

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  repre-
     sentation in a 32-bit or 64-bit ELF file.	The on-disk and in-memory repre-
     sentations	 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  calcu-
	    lated.


     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.
