  elf_getident(Elf

elf_getident() returns a pointer to the initial
  bytes of the file for descriptor elf.
If argument sz is non-null, the size of the identification area returned is written to the location pointed to by sz. This location is set to zero on errors.
elf_getident() will return a
  non-NULL pointer to the
  initial bytes of the file if successful, or NULL if an
  error condition is detected.
elf_getident() can fail with the following
  errors:
