Usage: eu-readelf [OPTION...] FILE...
Print information from ELF file in human-readable form.
ELF input selection:
--dwarf-skeleton=FILE Used with -w to find the skeleton Compile Units in
FILE associated with the Split Compile units in a
.dwo input file
--elf-section[=SECTION] Use the named SECTION (default .gnu_debugdata)
as (compressed) ELF input data
ELF output selection:
-a, --all All these plus -p .strtab -p .dynstr -p .comment
-A, --arch-specific Display architecture specific information, if any
--dyn-syms Display (only) the dynamic symbol table
-d, --dynamic Display the dynamic segment
-e, --exception Display sections for exception handling
-g, --section-groups Display the section groups
-h, --file-header Display the ELF file header
-I, --histogram Display histogram of bucket list lengths
-l, --program-headers Display the program headers
-n, --notes[=SECTION] Display the ELF notes
-r, --relocs Display relocations
-s, --symbols[=SECTION] Display the symbol table sections
-S, --section-headers Display the sections' headers
-V, --version-info Display versioning information
Additional output selection:
-c, --archive-index Display the symbol index of an archive
-D, --use-dynamic Use the dynamic segment when possible for
displaying info
-p, --strings[=SECTION] Print string contents of sections
-w, --debug-dump[=SECTION] Display DWARF section content. SECTION can be one
of abbrev, addr, aranges, cu_index,
decodedaranges, frame, gdb_index, info, info+,
loc, line, decodedline, ranges, pubnames, str,
macinfo, macro or exception
-x, --hex-dump=SECTION Dump the uninterpreted contents of SECTION, by
number or name
Output control:
-N, --numeric-addresses Do not find symbol names for addresses in DWARF
data
-U, --unresolved-address-offsets
Display just offsets instead of resolving values
to addresses in DWARF data
-W, --wide Ignored for compatibility (lines always wide)
-z, --decompress Show compression information for compressed
sections (when used with -S); decompress section
before dumping data (when used with -p or -x)
-?, --help Give this help list
--usage Give a short usage message
--version Print program version
Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.
