Struct Link Map

The link_map struct contains information for loaded shared objects including the difference between the address in the ELF file and memory addresses, the absolute file name, a pointer to the dynamic section, and a chain of loaded objects using next and prev pointers. It is used by the debugger and dynamic linker to manage shared libraries in memory.

struct link_map

{
/* These first few members are part of the protocol with the debugger.
This is the same format used in SVR4. */

ElfW(Addr) l_addr; /* Difference between the address in the ELF


file and the addresses in memory. */
char *l_name; /* Absolute file name object was found in. */
ElfW(Dyn) *l_ld; /* Dynamic section of the shared object. */
struct link_map *l_next, *l_prev; /* Chain of loaded objects. */
......//rest of the struct
}

ElfW(Type) returns ElfW64_Type on x64 platforms


ElfW(addr) returns Elf64_addr which is uint64_t

ElfW(Dyn) == Elf64_Dyn which is a struct:


typedef struct
{
Elf64_Sxword d_tag;
union {
Elf64_Xword d_val;
Elf64_Addr d_ptr;
} d_un;
} Elf64_Dyn;
