The readelf utility displays information about ELF objects and ar(1) archives.

The readelf utility recognizes the following options:

|
Turn on the following flags: -d, -h, -I, -l, -r, -s, -A, -S and -V.
|
Print the archive symbol table for archives.
|
Print the contents of the SHT_DYNAMIC sections in the ELF object.
|
Print all program, file and section headers in the ELF object.
|
Print the contents of the section groups in the ELF object.
|
Print the file header of the ELF object.
|
Print the content of the program header table for the object.
|
Print the contents of PT_NOTE segments or SHT_NOTE sections present in the ELF object.
section | =section
Print the contents of the specified section as printable strings. The argument section should be the name of a section or a numeric section index.
|
Print relocation information.
| |
Print symbol tables.
|
Print additional information about sections, such as the flags fields in section headers.
|
Prints a version identifier for readelf and exits.
[afilmoprsFLR] | --debug-dump[=long-option-name,...]
Display DWARF information. The -w option is used with the short options in the following table; the --debug-dump option is used with a comma-separated list of the corresponding long option names:
a abbrev Show abbreviation information.
f frames Show frame information, displaying frame instructions.
i info Show debugging information entries.
l rawline Show line information in raw form.
m macro Show macro information.
o loc Show location list information.
p pubnames Show global names.
r aranges|ranges Show address range information.
s str Show the debug string table.
F frames-interp Show frame information, displaying register rules.
L decodedline Show line information in decoded form.
R Ranges Show range lists.

If no sub-options are specified, the default is to show information corresponding to the a, f, i, l, o, p, r, s and R short options.

section | =section
Display the contents of the specified section in hexadecimal. The argument section should be the name of a section or a numeric section index.
|
This option is accepted but is currently unimplemented.
|
Print the symbol table specified by the DT_SYMTAB entry in the “.dynamic” section.
|
Print a help message.
|
Print information on bucket list lengths for sections of type SHT_HASH and SHT_GNU_HASH.
|
This option is accepted but is currently unimplemented.
| |
Print information in the section headers for each ELF object.
|
Print symbol versioning information.
|
Print information about ELF structures using one long line per structure. If this option is not specified, readelf will list information in the headers of 64 bit ELF objects on two separate lines.

The readelf utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
