+.SH NAME
+gelf_newehdr \- allocate and initialize a new ELF file header
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.B #include <gelf.h>
+

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR gelf_newehdr ()
+allocates and initializes a new ELF header for
+.IR elf ,
+if a header does not already exist.
+
+.PP
+The caller must specify the ELF class via
+.IR class ,
+which must be either:
+.TP
+.B ELFCLASS32
+Request a 32\-bit ELF file header.
+.TP
+.B ELFCLASS64
+Request a 64\-bit ELF file header.
+
+.SH PARAMETERS
+.TP
+.I elf
+Pointer to an ELF descriptor of kind
+.BR ELF_K_ELF .
+
+.TP
+.I class
+The requested ELF class for the new header. Must be
+.B ELFCLASS32
+or
+.BR ELFCLASS64 .
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.B gelf_newehdr()
+will return a non-zero value. The ELF header of
+.I elf
+can be retrieved using
+.BR gelf_getehdr ().
+.BR elf32_getehdr ()
+or
+.BR elf64_getehdr ()
+can also be used depending on the ELF class specified by
+.IR class .
+
+On failure, NULL is returned and elf_errno is set. If
+.I elf
+is NULL then NULL is returned without setting elf_errno.
