DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       The  long  and  short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent. All of
       the  classification  options  must  apply  at  the  same  time  to  a   particular   file.
       Classification options can be negated using a --not-  prefix.

   Classification Options
       --core
           File is an ELF core dump file.

       --debug-only
           File is a debug only ELF file (separate .debug, .dwo or dwz multi-file).

       --elf
           File looks like an ELF object or archive/static library (default).

       --elf-archive
           File is an ELF archive or static library.

       --elf-file
           File is an regular ELF object (not an archive/static library).

       --executable
           File is (primarily) an ELF program executable (not primarily a DS.O)

       --library
           File is an ELF shared object (DSO) (might also be an executable).

       --linux-kernel-module
           File is a linux kernel module.

       --loadable
           File is a loadable ELF object (program or shared object).

       --program
           File is an ELF program executable (might also be a DSO).

       --shared
           File is (primarily) an ELF shared object (DSO) (not primarily an executable).

       --unstripped
           File  is  an  ELF  file  with  symbol  table  or .debug_* sections and can be stripped
           further.

   Input flags
       -f
       --file
           Only classify regular (not symlink nor special device) files.

       --no-stdin
           Do not read files from standard input (default).

       --stdin
           Also read file names to process from standard input, separated by newlines.

       --stdin0
           Also read file names to process from standard input, separated by ASCII NUL bytes.

       -z
       --compressed
           Try to open compressed files or embedded (kernel) ELF images.

   Output flags
       --matching
           If printing file names, print matching files (default).

       --no-print
           Do not output file names.

       --not-matching
           If printing file names, print files that do not match.

       --print
           Output names of files, separated by newline.

       --print0
           Output names of files, separated by ASCII NUL.

    Additional flags
       -q

       --quiet
           Suppress some error output (counterpart to --verbose).

       -v

       --verbose
           Output additional information (can be specified multiple times).

       -?

       --help
           Give this help list.

       --usage
           Give a short usage message.

       -V

       --version
           Print program version.
