NAME

       elftoc - translate an ELF file into a C struct

SYNOPSIS

       elftoc [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

       elftoc  takes  as  input an ELF file, and translates its content into a C source file describing a struct
       with an initialized value that matches the ELF file's memory image. Where possible,  literal  values  are
       replaced with preprocessor symbols and sizeof-based calculations.

OPTIONS

       -e, --force-end
              Force  inclusion of a final _end field in the C struct. By default, an _end field is only included
              if the padding causes the struct to be larger than the original ELF  file.  With  this  option,  a
              struct with no extra padding will provide an _end field defined as a zero-length array.

       -E, --exclude-end
              Do not include a final _end field, even if padding is present at the end of the C struct.

       -w, --width=N
              Set the maximum line width in the output to N.  The default maximum line width is 80.

       -i, --indent=N
              Set the number of spaces to indent to N.  The default indentation amount is 2.

       -s, --structname=NAME
              Set  the  name of the C struct in the generated source code to NAME.  By default the struct's name
              is "elf".

       -v, --varname=NAME
              Set the name of the variable in the generated source code to NAME.  By default the variable's name
              is "foo".

       -m, --allow-misaligned
              A misaligned section in the ELF file would cause padding bytes to be inserted in the C struct.  To
              avoid  this,  elftoc  represents  misaligned  sections as uninterpreted byte arrays, regardless of
              their original type. This option suppresses this behavior,  so  that  misaligned  sections  retain
              their actual type, even when this creates an incorrect image in the C struct.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress warning messages regarding invalid and contradictory values in the ELF file.

       -o, --output=FILENAME
              Write the C source code to FILENAME instead of to standard output.

       --help Display help and exit.

       --version
              Display version information and exit.
