Since I've had no involvement with the FreeBSD coding of ELF, I have no doubt it has a lot of errors, and as a data reference I used an old ESIX SVR4 manual. For one thing, this man page references the FreeBSD elf.h, which doesn't yet exist. If anyone thinks (who knows the FreeBSD implementation better than I) they would like this as a good start point for a real ELF man page, I'd be glad to send this to them. It does describe the ELF header, section header, and program header arrays in quite some detail, and I tried pretty hard to follow the mdoc.samples example. ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
