macro definition turns its argument into the name of an ELF data
type suitable for the hardware architecture.
For example, on a 32-bit platform,
-ElfW(Addr) yields the data type name Elf32_Addr.
+.I ElfW(Addr)
+yields the data type name
+.IR Elf32_Addr .
Further information on these types can be found in the
.IR <elf.h> " and " <link.h>
header files.)

+.SH CONFORMING TO
The
.BR dl_iterate_phdr ()
-function is Linux-specific and should be avoided in portable applications.
+function is not specified in any standard.
+Various other systems provide a version of this function,
+although details of the returned
+.I dl_phdr_info
+structure differ.
+On the BSDs and Solaris, the structure includes the fields
+.IR dlpi_addr ,
+.IR dlpi_name ,
+.IR dlpi_phdr ,
+and
+.IR dlpi_phnum
+in addition to other implementation-specific fields.
+.SH NOTES
+Future versions of the C library may add further fields to the
+.IR dl_phdr_info
+structure; in that event, the
+.I size
+argument provides a mechanism for the callback function to discover
+whether it is running on a system with added fields.
+
+The first object visited by
+.IR callback
+is the main program.
+For the main program, the
+.I dlpi_name
+field will be an empty string.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following program displays a list of pathnames of the
shared objects it has loaded.
-For each shared object, the program lists the virtual addresses
-at which the object's ELF segments are loaded.
+For each shared object, the program lists some information
+(virtual address, size, flags, and type)
+for each of the objects ELF segments.
+
+The following shell session demonstrates the output
+produced by the program on an x86-64 system.
+The first shared object for which output is displayed
+(where the name is an empty string)
+is the main program.
