419dd9d0cfSchristosFunction
429dd9d0cfSchristos.Fn elf_getphdrnum
439dd9d0cfSchristosretrieves the number of ELF program headers associated with descriptor
443f622274Sjkoshy.Fa elf

479dd9d0cfSchristos.Pp
489dd9d0cfSchristosThis routine allows applications to uniformly process both normal ELF
499dd9d0cfSchristosobjects and ELF objects that use extended numbering.
