DESCRIPTION
       readelf displays information about one or more ELF format object files.  The options control what particular information to display.

       elffile... are the object files to be examined.  32-bit and 64-bit ELF files are supported, as are archives containing ELF files.

       This  program  performs  a  similar function to objdump but it goes into more detail and it exists independently of the BFD library, so if there is a bug in BFD then readelf will not be affected.

OPTIONS
       The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent.  At least one option besides -v or -H must be given.

       -a
       --all
           Equivalent to specifying --file-header, --program-headers, --sections, --symbols, --relocs, --dynamic, --notes and --version-info.

       -h
       --file-header
           Displays the information contained in the ELF header at the start of the file.

       -l
       --program-headers
       --segments
           Displays the information contained in the file's segment headers, if it has any.

       -S
       --sections
       --section-headers
           Displays the information contained in the file's section headers, if it has any.

       -g
       --section-groups
           Displays the information contained in the file's section groups, if it has any.

       -t
       --section-details
           Displays the detailed section information. Implies -S.

       -s
       --symbols
       --syms
           Displays the entries in symbol table section of the file, if it has one. -e
       --headers
           Display all the headers in the file.  Equivalent to -h -l -S.

       -n
       --notes
           Displays the contents of the NOTE segments and/or sections, if any.

       -r
       --relocs
           Displays the contents of the file's relocation section, if it has one.

       -u
       --unwind
           Displays the contents of the file's unwind section, if it has one.  Only the unwind sections for IA64 ELF files are currently supported.

       -d
       --dynamic
           Displays the contents of the file's dynamic section, if it has one.

       -V
       --version-info
           Displays the contents of the version sections in the file, it they exist.

       -A
       --arch-specific
           Displays architecture-specific information in the file, if there is any.

       -D
       --use-dynamic
           When displaying symbols, this option makes readelf use the symbol table in the file's dynamic section, rather than the one in the symbols section.

       -x <number or name>
       --hex-dump=<number or name>
           Displays the contents of the indicated section as a hexadecimal dump.  A number identifies a particular section by index in the section table; any  other  string
           identifies all sections with that name in the object file.
 -w[liaprmfFsoR]
       --debug-dump[=line,=info,=abbrev,=pubnames,=aranges,=macro,=frames,=frames-interp,=str,=loc,=Ranges]
           Displays  the contents of the debug sections in the file, if any are present.  If one of the optional letters or words follows the switch then only data found in
           those specific sections will be dumped.

       -I
       --histogram
           Display a histogram of bucket list lengths when displaying the contents of the symbol tables.

       -v
       --version
           Display the version number of readelf.

       -W
       --wide
           Don't break output lines to fit into 80 columns. By default readelf breaks section header and segment listing lines for 64-bit ELF files, so that they  fit  into
           80  columns.  This option causes readelf to print each section header resp. each segment one a single line, which is far more readable on terminals wider than 80
           columns.

       -H
       --help
           Display the command line options understood by readelf.

       @file
           Read command-line options from file.  The options read are inserted in place of the original @file option.  If file does not exist, or cannot be read,  then  the
           option will be treated literally, and not removed.

           Options  in  file  are  separated by whitespace.  A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double
           quotes.  Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash.  The file  may  itself  contain  addi-
           tional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
