.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"

\&\fBreadelf\fR displays information about one or more \s-1ELF\s0 format object

files.  The options control what particular information to display.

.PP

\&\fIelffile\fR... are the object files to be examined.  32\-bit and

64\-bit \s-1ELF\s0 files are supported, as are archives containing \s-1ELF\s0 files.

.PP

This program performs a similar function to \fBobjdump\fR but it

goes into more detail and it exists independently of the \s-1BFD\s0

library, so if there is a bug in \s-1BFD\s0 then readelf will not be

affected.

.IX Item "-x "

.PD 0

.IP "\fB\-\-hex\-dump=\fR" 4

.IX Item "--hex-dump="

.IP "\fB\-w[lLiaprmfFsoR]\fR" 4

.IX Item "-w[lLiaprmfFsoR]"

.PD 0

.IP "\fB\-\-debug\-dump[=rawline,=decodedline,=info,=abbrev,=pubnames,=aranges,=macro,=frames,=frames\-interp,=str,=loc,=Ranges]\fR" 4

.IX Item "--debug-dump[=rawline,=decodedline,=info,=abbrev,=pubnames,=aranges,=macro,=frames,=frames-interp,=str,=loc,=Ranges]"

.PD

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.

.Sp

contents of a .debug_line section whereas the \fB=rawline\fR option

dumps the contents in a raw format.

.IP "\fB\-I\fR" 4

.IX Item "-I"

.PD 0

.IP "\fB\-\-histogram\fR" 4

.IX Item "--histogram"

.PD

Display a histogram of bucket list lengths when displaying the contents

.IP "\fB\-W\fR" 4

.IX Item "-W"

.PD 0

.IP "\fB\-\-wide\fR" 4

.IX Item "--wide"

.PD

Don't break output lines to fit into 80 columns. By default

\&\fBreadelf\fR breaks section header and segment listing lines for

64\-bit \s-1ELF\s0 files, so that they fit into 80 columns. This option causes

\&\fBreadelf\fR to print each section header resp. each segment one a

single line, which is far more readable on terminals wider than 80 columns.

.IP "\fB\-H\fR" 4

.IX Item "-H"

.PD 0

.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4

.IX Item "--help"

.PD

Display the command line options understood by \fBreadelf\fR.

.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4

.IX Item "@file"

Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR.  The options read are

inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option.  If \fIfile\fR

does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated

literally, and not removed.

.Sp

Options in \fIfile\fR 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 \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional

@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
