|
||
|
|
<p><span class="command">readelf</span> displays information about one or more ELF format object
|
||
|
|
files. The options control what particular information to display.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><var>elffile</var><small class="dots">...</small> are the object files to be examined. 32-bit and
|
||
|
|
64-bit ELF files are supported, as are archives containing ELF files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This program performs a similar function to <span class="command">objdump</span> but it
|
||
|
|
goes into more detail and it exists independently of the <span class="sc">bfd</span>
|
||
|
|
library, so if there is a bug in <span class="sc">bfd</span> then readelf will not be
|
||
|
|
affected.
