DESCRIPTION
The
elf32_checksum() function returns a simple checksum of selected sections of the image identified by
elf. The value is typically used as the
.dynamic tag
DT_CHECKSUM, recorded in dynamic executables and shared objects.
Selected sections of the image are used to calculate the checksum in order that its value is not affected by utilities such as
strip(1).
For the 64−bit class, replace 32 with 64 as appropriate.
