DESCRIPTION

38       eu-elfclassify identifies the primary purpose of a particular kind of
39        ELF file or files
40

OPTIONS

42       The  long  and  short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
43       equivalent. All of the classification options must apply  at  the  same
44       time to a particular file.  Classification options can be negated using
45       a --not-  prefix.
46
47   Classification Options
48       --core
49           File is an ELF core dump file.
50
51       --debug-only
52           File is a debug only ELF file (separate .debug, .dwo or dwz  multi-
53           file).
54
55       --elf
56           File looks like an ELF object or archive/static library (default).
57
58       --elf-archive
59           File is an ELF archive or static library.
60
61       --elf-file
62           File is an regular ELF object (not an archive/static library).
63
64       --executable
65           File  is  (primarily)  an  ELF  program executable (not primarily a
66           DS.O)
67
68       --library
69           File is an ELF shared object (DSO) (might also be an executable).
70
71       --linux-kernel-module
72           File is a linux kernel module.
73
74       --loadable
75           File is a loadable ELF object (program or shared object).
76
77       --program
78           File is an ELF program executable (might also be a DSO).
79
80       --shared
81           File is (primarily) an ELF shared object (DSO)  (not  primarily  an
82           executable).
83
84       --unstripped
85           File  is an ELF file with symbol table or .debug_* sections and can
86           be stripped further.
87
88   Input flags
89       -f
90       --file
91           Only classify regular (not symlink nor special device) files.
92
93       --no-stdin
94           Do not read files from standard input (default).
95
96       --stdin
97           Also read file names to process from standard input,  separated  by
98           newlines.
99
100       --stdin0
101           Also  read  file names to process from standard input, separated by
102           ASCII NUL bytes.
103
104       -z
105       --compressed
106           Try to open compressed files or embedded (kernel) ELF images.
107
108   Output flags
109       --matching
110           If printing file names, print matching files (default).
111
112       --no-print
113           Do not output file names.
114
115       --not-matching
116           If printing file names, print files that do not match.
117
118       --print
119           Output names of files, separated by newline.
120
121       --print0
122           Output names of files, separated by ASCII NUL.
123
124    Additional flags
125       -q
126
127       --quiet
128           Suppress some error output (counterpart to --verbose).
129
130       -v
131
132       --verbose
133           Output additional information (can be specified multiple times).
134
135       -?
136
137       --help
138           Give this help list.
139
140       --usage
141           Give a short usage message.
142
143       -V
144
145       --version
146           Print program version.
