I may be splitting hairs, but the dl_iterate_phdr(3) man page does not
say a program is returned during the enumeration. It says shared
objects are returned.
$ man 3 dl_iterate_phdr
DL_ITERATE_PHDR(3) Linux Programmer's Manual
DL_ITERATE_PHDR(3)
NAME
dl_iterate_phdr - walk through list of shared objects
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <link.h>
int dl_iterate_phdr(
int (*callback) (struct dl_phdr_info *info,
size_t size, void *data),
void *data);
DESCRIPTION
The dl_iterate_phdr() function allows an application to
inquire at run time to
find out which shared objects it has loaded, and the order in
which they were
loaded.
The dl_iterate_phdr() function walks through the list of an
application's shared
objects and calls the function callback once for each object,
until either all
shared objects have been processed or callback returns a nonzero value.
