This descriptor must have been allocated by a previous call to .Xr elf_begin 3 or .Xr elf_memory 3 . For programming convenience, a NULL value is permitted for argument .Ar elf .
p A call to .Fn elf_end decrements the activation count for descriptor .Ar elf by one. The resources associated with the descriptor are only released with its activation count goes to zero.
p Once function .Fn elf_end returns zero, the ELF descriptor .Ar elf will no longer be valid and should not be used further. .Sh RETURN VALUES Function .Fn elf_end returns the current value of the ELF descriptor .Ar elf Ap s activation count, or zero if argument .Ar elf was NULL. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr elf 3 , .Xr elf_begin 3 , .Xr elf_memory 3 , .Xr gelf 3
