Hello,

Today I found out we have a utility in FreeBSD that's 300 KB's in size
and is only used to display some fancy numbers, called size(1). (Yeah,
300 KB - it is statically linked against libbfd.)

I thought it would be possible to rewrite size(1) to use libelf. The
result:

GNU size(1);

| $ size /usr/bin/size
|    text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
|  309202	   1524	  16964	 327690	  5000a	size

My size(1):

| $ ./size size
|    text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
|    5209	    340	     44	   5593	   15d9	size

So far I've implemented all common features supported by the GNU
version, except one: when you use size -A (the `System V format'), it
doesn't calculate the relocated addresses yet. It now prints 0xdeadc0de,
but this has to be fixed.

I haven't tested the utility on any 64-bit systems yet and I know it
will probably won't work there yet, but I'll look at these issues soon.

When finished, it should be a drop-in replacement. The Berkeley format
is exactly the same as the original GNU version. The System V format
should be almost the same, except for some whitespace.

I've attached the code to this message.

.Dt SIZE 1
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm size
.Nd list section sizes of ELF files
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl A | B
.Op Fl d | o | x
.Op Fl t
.Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
For each operand,
.Nm
displays the sizes of the read-only sections of the ELF file (text), the
read-write sections (data) and the zero-initialized sections (bss). This format
is referred to as the Berkeley format, which is shown by default.
.Pp
This version of
.Nm
also supports the System V format, which shows the sizes and load
addresses of all sections within the ELF file.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl A
Show output using the System V format.
.It Fl B
Show output using the Berkeley format.
.It Fl d
Display sizes as decimal numbers.
.It Fl o
Display sizes as octal numbers. When enabled, the
.Em dec
column in the Berkeley format is replaced by a column which displays the
size in octal.
.It Fl x
Display sizes as hexadecimal numbers.
.It Fl t
When using the Berkeley format, show the total size for all ELF files at
the bottom.
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
This utility implements most standard options that are implemented in
the GNU
.Nm
utility. Unlike the GNU version, this utility only supports decimal,
octal and hexadecimal radices.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr objdump 1 ,
.Xr readelf 1 ,
.Sh HISTORY
In
.Fx 8.0 ,
.An "Ed Schouten" Aq ed@80386.nl
reimplemented
.Nm
using the
.Lb libelf .
