readelf

Authoritative ELF structure inspection. When in doubt, trust the headers.

When to use readelf

Use readelf when you need to:

• verify ELF type, entry point, and architecture
• inspect sections, segments, dynamic libraries, or relocations
• confirm PIE, interpreter path, and symbol visibility details
• understand what the loader sees before patching or exploiting

Quick Start
