Detailed Description

ELF dump library.

The function ELF_show() prints the contents of a 32-bit PPC ELF file. All section header information is displayed for every section contained in the file. The symbol table and relocation table sections are shown in detail, giving the contents of each table entry.

This library was specifically intended for use with relocatable ELF files (ET_REL) for PowerPC machines (EM_PPC) in the 32-bit big-endian format (ELFCLASS32 and ELFDATA2MSB). It will work with some other ELF format files, but usually the displayed information is much more limited.
