+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Copy a class\-independent additional symbol information entry from
+.I src
+into the
+.B SHT_SUNW_syminfo
+section associated with
+.I data
+at entry index
+.IR ndx .
+
+.I data
+should be associated with an ELF section with type
+.B SHT_SUNW_syminfo
+and data type
+.BR ELF_T_SYMINFO .
+These types are Sun/Solaris extensions and are not typically used in GNU/Linux
+ELF files.

+.TP
+.I data
+Pointer to an
+.B Elf_Data

+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, this function returns a non-zero value and updates
+.I data
+with
+.I src
+at index
+.IR ndx .
+The section associated with
+.I data
+is flagged with
+.BR ELF_F_DIRTY .
+On failure, zero is returned and elf_errno is set.  If
+.I data
+is NULL, then zero is returned without setting elf_errno.
