35 Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including stack (to show
36 backtraces), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size
37 (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file),
38 strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file
39 structures), elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files) and
40 elfcompress (to compress or decompress ELF sections).
41 Also included are helper libraries which implement DWARF, ELF,
42 and machine-specific ELF handling and process introspection.

74 The elfutils-libelf package provides a DSO which allows reading and
75 writing ELF files on a high level. Third party programs depend on
76 this package to read internals of ELF files. The programs of the
77 elfutils package use it also to generate new ELF files.
