SYNOPSIS
     #include <gelf.h>

     int gelf_getclass(Elf *elf);


DESCRIPTION
     gelf_getclass() returns the class of the ELF object referenced by elf.  The
     class of a valid ELF file will be one of:

     ELFCLASS32
	    The object is a 32-bit ELF class.

     ELFCLASS64
	    The object is a 64-bit ELF class.

     If	 elf  does  not denote a valid ELF object, or the class cannot be deter-
     mined, ELFCLASSNONE is returned.


RETURN VALUE
     Returns ELFCLASS32 or ELFCLASS64 on success.  If elf is NULL  or  does  not
     refer  to	a valid ELF binary with kind ELF_K_ELF, then ELFCLASSNONE is re-
     turned.
