NAME
       elf32_getshdr, elf64_getshdr - retrieve the section header for a
       section in 32-bit or 64-bit ELF object file


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libelf.h>

       Elf32_Shdr *elf32_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);
       Elf64_Shdr *elf64_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);


DESCRIPTION
       Retrieve the section header for the section referred to by scn.  If the
       retrieved section header is modified, elf_flagshdr must be called with
       ELF_C_SET and ELF_F_DIRTY in order to write the modified section header
       to disk.


PARAMETERS
       scn    The section descriptor whose section header is to be retrieved.


RETURN VALUE
       On success, return a pointer to the section header.  If scn is NULL
       then NULL will be returned.  If an error occurs, return NULL and set a
       libelf error code.
