MyElf

ELF CLI utility / header-only c++ library for reading ELF files

Building (reqs: c++17, cmake 3.8)

mkdir build && cd build

cmake ..

cmake --build .

CLI usage

Examine an ELF file by running the myelf program, passing a filename followed by one or more flags.
Ex: ./myelf [filename] -y to print symbol table entries.
The available flags can be viewed by using the --help flag.

Example output of command ./myelf ./myelf -h:

Linking

To link with the library simply copy or add the include/ directory to your own projects include path.
As of right now there are no cmake install targets so installing & adding a cmake dependency is not possible.
