.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.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent.  At least one option besides \fB\-v\fR or \fB\-H\fR must be
given.
.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-all\fR" 4
.IX Item "--all"
.PD
Equivalent to specifying \fB\-\-file\-header\fR,
\&\fB\-\-program\-headers\fR, \fB\-\-sections\fR, \fB\-\-symbols\fR,
\&\fB\-\-relocs\fR, \fB\-\-dynamic\fR, \fB\-\-notes\fR,
\&\fB\-\-version\-info\fR, \fB\-\-arch\-specific\fR, \fB\-\-unwind\fR,
\&\fB\-\-section\-groups\fR and \fB\-\-histogram\fR.
.Sp
Note \- this option does not enable \fB\-\-use\-dynamic\fR itself, so
if that option is not present on the command line then dynamic symbols
and dynamic relocs will not be displayed.
.IP "\fB\-h\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-file\-header\fR" 4
.IX Item "--file-header"
.PD
Displays the information contained in the \s-1ELF\s0 header at the start of the
file.
.IP "\fB\-l\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-program\-headers\fR" 4
.IX Item "--program-headers"
.IP "\fB\-\-segments\fR" 4
.IX Item "--segments"
.PD
Displays the information contained in the file's segment headers, if it
has any.
.IP "\fB\-S\fR" 4
.IX Item "-S"
.PD 0

displayed as a suffix preceeded by two @ characters.  For example
\&\fBfoo@@VER_2\fR.
