+.TH ELF_GETSHDRSTRNDX 3 2025-06-30 "Libelf" "Libelf Programmer's Manual"
+
+.SH NAME
+elf_getshdrstrndx, elf_getshstrndx \- retrieve the section header string table 
index
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <libelf.h>
+
+.B int elf_getshdrstrndx("Elf *elf", "size_t *dst");
+.B int elf_getshstrndx("Elf *elf", "size_t *dst");
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR elf_getshdrstrndx ()
+function retrieves the section header string table index from the ELF 
descriptor
+.IR elf ,
+and stores it in the location pointed to by
+.IR dst .
+
+This function handles both standard ELF values and extended section indexing.
+In the latter case, if the section header string table index field of the ELF
+header contains
+.B SHN_XINDEX,
+then the true index is stored in the
+.B sh_link
+field of section 0, which this function reads either from memory or directly
+from the file.
+
+The function
+.BR elf_getshstrndx ()
+is a deprecated alias for
+.BR elf_getshdrstrndx ()
+and should not be used in new code.
+
+.SH PARAMETERS
+.TP
+.I elf
+A pointer to an
+.B Elf
+descriptor opened with
+.BR elf_begin (3).
+The descriptor must be of kind
+.B ELF_K_ELF .
+
+.TP
+.I dst
+A pointer to a
+.B size_t
+location where the index of the section header string table will be stored.
+Must not be NULL.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns 0 on success and stores the section header string table index in
+.IR dst .
+Returns \-1 on failure.
+
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR libelf (3),
+.BR elf (5)

+
+.SH HISTORY
+.B elf_getshdrstrndx
+first appeared in elfutils 0.142.  This function is a elfutils libelf 
extension and
+may not be available in other libelf implementations.
