ELF_SPEC_HEADER* melf_noteCreate (  MELF *    melf,
const char *    name,
unsigned long    createProgramHeader
) 
 

Creates a note section with the provided name, optionally creating a program header for the note section.

Parameters:
melf  [in] The melf context.
name  [in] The name of the section. This can be NULL.
createProgramHeader  [in] 1 if a PT_NOTE program header is to be made, 0 if not.
Returns:
On success, an initialized note section header is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned.
Examples:
new.c.

Elf32_Nhdr* melf_noteEnum (  MELF *    melf,
ELF_SPEC_HEADER *    note,
unsigned long    index
) 
 

Enumerates the note entries at a given index. Indexes start at 0.

Parameters:
melf  [in] The melf context.
note  [in] The note section to operate on.
index  [in] The index to enumerate at.
Returns:
If the index is valid, a valid pointer to a note entry is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned.
