New: dl_iterate_phdr should mention Elf64_Phdr (in addition to Elf32_Phdr).
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218018
Bug ID: 218018
Summary: dl_iterate_phdr should mention Elf64_Phdr (in addition
to Elf32_Phdr).
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: man-pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: Nodl_iterate_phdr should mention Elf64_Phdr (in addition to Elf32_Phdr). Currently the man page says:
These program headers are structures of the following form:
typedef { ... } Elf32_Phdr;
which is obviously wrong for 64-bit binaries.

Hello Paul,
Do you think the following would be helpful.
Replacing "These program headers are structures of the following form:" with the following
The ELF program header is described by the type Elf32_Phdr or Elf64_Phdr depending on the architecture. Following is an example of 32 bit architecture. Refer to elf (man elf) for more information on 64 bit architecture.

I suggest deleting the last 4 words, i.e.
Refer to elf (man elf) for more information.
since "man elf" describes both Elf{32,64}_Phdr in a bit more detail.

I suggest creating link pages Elf32_Phdr(3type) and Elf64_Phdr(3type) both of which link to elf(5).
