ldclose(3)
NAME
  ldclose, ldaclose - close a common object file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <stdio.h>

  #include <filehdr.h>
  #include <syms.h>
  #include <ldfcn.h>


  int ldclose (ldptr)
  LDFILE *ldptr;

  int ldaclose (ldptr)
  LDFILE *ldptr;

DESCRIPTION
  ldopen(3) and ldclose provide uniform access to simple object files and
  object files that are members of archive files.  An archive of common
  object files can be processed as if it is a series of simple common object
  files.

  If TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file, ldclose closes the file
  and frees the memory allocated to the LDFILE structure associated with
  ldptr.  If TYPE(ldptr) is the magic number for an archive file and if
  archive has more files, ldclose reinitializes OFFSET(ldptr) to the file
  address of the next archive member and returns FAILURE.  The LDFILE
  structure is prepared for a later ldopen(3).	In all other cases, ldclose
  returns SUCCESS.

  ldaclose closes the file and frees the memory allocated to the LDFILE
  structure associated with ldptr regardless of the value of TYPE(ldptr).
  ldaclose always returns SUCCESS.  The function is often used with ldaopen.

  The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library

  libmld.a.
