The command "readelf --symbols ${path-to-binary}" is used to display the symbol table of a binary file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "readelf" is a command-line tool used to read the contents of ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) files. ELF files are commonly used in Linux and UNIX-like operating systems to represent executable programs, shared libraries, and object files.

• "--symbols" is an option for the "readelf" command that specifies to display the symbol table of the binary file. The symbol table contains information about the various symbols defined in the binary, such as function names, variable names, and their memory addresses.

• "${path-to-binary}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the binary file you want to analyze with the "readelf" command. You need to replace it with the correct path to the binary file on your system.

When you run this command with the appropriate path to a binary file, it will output the symbol table information, including the symbol names, their types, sizes, and memory addresses. This can be useful for understanding the structure and composition of a binary file, identifying the functions and variables it contains, and analyzing its dependencies and use of external symbols.
