RE: how to get the size of a code section.

I am not aware of one, your connection from elf file to application is
Elf32_Ehdr in elf.h.
An example on how to use this structure is in the binary loader in the
kernel, fs/binfmt_elf.c
and you can  read the spec (just do a search for it on google.com).

If you just want to "manage" some elf file sections check out objcopy
and objdump in the binutils package.

Hello to all,


 I want to know how do you know the size of a section. suppose if i
declare a section ".code_in_cache" , is there any C instruction or
Assembly instruction to know the size of this section. ??

thanks in advance,
Srini...
