+.Sh NAME
+.Nm elf_cntl
+.Nd control an elf file descriptor
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libelf
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In libelf.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn elf_cntl "Elf *elf" "Elf_Cmd cmd"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Function
+.Fn elf_cntl
+controls the ELF library's subsequent use of the file descriptor
+used to create ELF descriptor
+.Ar elf .
+.Pp
+Argument
+.Ar cmd
+informs the library of the action to be taken:
+.Bl -tag -width "ELF_C_FDDONE"
+.It Dv ELF_C_FDDONE
+This value instructs the ELF library not to perform any further
+I/O on the file descriptor associated with argument
+.Ar elf .
+For ELF descriptors opened with mode
+.Ar ELF_C_WRITE
+or
+.Ar ELF_C_RDWR
+subsequent
+.Fn elf_update
+operations on the descriptor will fail.
+.It Dv ELF_C_FDREAD
+This value instructs the ELF library to read in all necessary
+data associated with ELF descriptor
+.Ar elf
+into memory so that the underlying file descriptor can be
+safely closed with command
+.Dv ELF_C_FDDONE .
+.El
+.Pp
+Argument
+.Ar elf
+must be an ELF descriptor associated with a file system object
+(e.g., an
+.Xr ar 1
+archive, an ELF file, or other data file).
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+Due to use of
+.Xr mmap 2
+internally, this function is a no-op for ELF objects opened in
+.Dv ELF_C_READ
+mode.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Function
+.Fn elf_cntl
+returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error was detected.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARCHIVE
+Argument
+.Ar elf
+is a descriptor for an archive member.
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
+Argument
+.Ar elf
+was NULL.
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
+Argument
+.Ar cmd
+was not recognized.
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_MODE
+An
+.Dv ELF_C_FDREAD
+operation was requested on an ELF descriptor opened
+for writing.
