int
elf_end
(Elf
*elf);
elf_end
() is used to release the resources
associated with an ELF descriptor pointed to by argument
elf. This descriptor must have been allocated by a
previous call to elf_begin(3)
or elf_memory(3). For
programming convenience, a NULL value is permitted for argument
elf.
A call to elf_end
() decrements the
activation count for descriptor elf by one. The
resources associated with the descriptor are only released with its
activation count goes to zero.
Once function elf_end
() returns zero, the
ELF descriptor elf will no longer be valid and should
not be used further.
elf_end
() returns the current value of the ELF
descriptor elf's activation count, or zero if argument
elf was NULL.
