NAME
     gelf_update_shdr  -  copy a class-independent section header into a section
     descriptor


SYNOPSIS
     #include <gelf.h>

     int gelf_update_shdr(Elf_Scn *scn, GElf_Shdr *src);


DESCRIPTION
     gelf_update_shdr() copies the class-independent section  header  referenced
     by	 src  into the section descriptor scn.	The section header is translated
     as necessary to match the class ( ELFCLASS32 or ELFCLASS64) of the underly-
     ing ELF object.  If the underlying ELF object has class ELFCLASS32 then the
     struct members of src must fit into 32-bit field values.


PARAMETERS
     scn    Pointer to a section descriptor of type Elf_Scn.


     src    Pointer to a GElf_Shdr structure  containing  the  calleras	 desired
	    section header contents.


RETURN VALUE
     On	 success, gelf_update_shdr() returns a non-zero value and marks scn with
     the ELF_F_DIRTY flag.  On failure, this function returns 0 and elf_errno is
     set. If scn or src are NULL, then 0 is returned without setting elf_errno.
