readelf: Display all information about the ELF file.
$ readelf -all ${path-to-binary}
try on your machine
The command "readelf -all ${path-to-binary}" is used to display detailed information about an ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) binary file.
Here is a breakdown of each component:
- "readelf" is the command-line tool used to analyze and display information about ELF files.
- "-all" is an option for the "readelf" command, which specifies that all available information about the binary file should be displayed. This includes headers, sections, symbols, relocations, dynamic tags, and more.
- "${path-to-binary}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the binary file you want to examine. The path can be absolute or relative to the current directory.
By running this command, you will get an extensive output providing detailed information about the structure and contents of the specified ELF binary file.
