37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In gelf.h
39.Ft "GElf_Move *"
40.Fn gelf_getmove "Elf_Data *data" "int ndx" "GElf_Move *move"
41.Ft int
42.Fn gelf_update_move "Elf_Data *data" "int ndx" "GElf_Move *move"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent
45.Vt Elf32_Move
46and
47.Vt Elf64_Move
48structures in an ELF object.
49.Pp
50Argument
51.Fa data
52is an
53.Vt Elf_Data
54descriptor associated with a section of type
55.Dv SHT_SUNW_move .
56Argument
57.Fa ndx
58is the index of the move record being retrieved or updated.
59The class-independent
60.Vt GElf_Move
61structure is described in
62.Xr gelf 3 .
63.Pp
64Function
65.Fn gelf_getmove
66retrieves class-dependent move record at index
67.Fa ndx
68in data buffer
69.Fa data
70and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument
71.Fa move
72after translation to class-independent form.
73.Pp
74Function
75.Fn gelf_update_move
76converts the class-independent move information pointed to
77by argument
78.Fa move
79to class-dependent form, and writes it to the move record at index
80.Fa ndx
81in the data buffer described by argument
82.Fa data .
83Function
84.Fn gelf_update_move
85signals an error if any of the values in the class-independent
86representation exceeds the representable limits of the target
87type.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89Function
90.Fn gelf_getmove
91returns the value of argument
92.Fa move
93if successful, or
94.Dv NULL
95in case of an error.
96Function
97.Fn gelf_update_move
98returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.
99.Sh ERRORS
100These functions may fail with the following errors:
101.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
102.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
103Arguments

109.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
110Argument
111.Fa ndx
112was less than zero or larger than the number of records in the data
113descriptor.

117was not associated with a section containing move information.
118.It Bq Er ELF_E_RANGE
119A value was not representable in the target type.
120.It Bq Er ELF_E_VERSION
121The
122.Vt Elf_Data
123descriptor denoted by argument
124.Fa data
125is associated with an ELF object with an unsupported version.
