13. readelf elf文件格式分析

这个工具和objdump命令提供的功能类似，但是它显示的信息更为具体，并且它不依赖BFD库(BFD库是一个GNU项目，它的目标就是希望通过一种统一的接口来处理不同的目标文件）；

ELF文件类型
ELF(Executable and Linking Format)是一种对象文件的格式，用于定义不同类型的对象文件(Object files)中都放了什么东西、以及都以什么样的格式去放这些东西。它自最早在 System V 系统上出现后，被 xNIX 世界所广泛接受，作为缺省的二进制文件格式来使用。可以说，ELF是构成众多xNIX系统的基础之一。
ELF文件有三种类型：

  • 可重定位的对象文件(Relocatable file)由汇编器汇编生成的 .o 文件
  • 可执行的对象文件(Executable file)可执行应用程序
  • 可被共享的对象文件(Shared object file)动态库文件，也即 .so 文件
  • .text section 里装载了可执行代码；
  • .data section 里面装载了被初始化的数据；
  • .bss section 里面装载了未被初始化的数据；
  • 以 .rec 打头的 sections 里面装载了重定位条目；
  • .symtab 或者 .dynsym section 里面装载了符号信息；
  • .strtab 或者 .dynstr section 里面装载了字符串信息；

13.1. 参数说明

13.2. 示例

想知道一个应用程序的可运行的架构平台:

  1. $readelf -h main| grep Machine

-h选项将显示文件头的概要信息，从里面可以看到，有很多有用的信息：

  1. $readelf -h main
  2. ELF Header:
  3. Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  4. Class:                             ELF64
  5. Data:                              2 s complement, little endian
  6. Version:                           1 (current)
  7. OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V
  8. ABI Version:                       0
  9. Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)
  10. Machine:                           Advanced Micro Devices X86-64
  11. Version:                           0x1
  12. Entry point address:               0x400790
  13. Start of program headers:          64 (bytes into file)
  14. Start of section headers:          5224 (bytes into file)
  15. Flags:                             0x0
  16. Size of this header:               64 (bytes)
  17. Size of program headers:           56 (bytes)
  18. Number of program headers:         8
  19. Size of section headers:           64 (bytes)
  20. Number of section headers:         29
  21. Section header string table index: 26

一个编译好的应用程序，想知道其编译时是否使用了-g选项（加入调试信息）:

  1. $readelf -S main| grep debug

用-S选项是显示所有段信息；如果编译时使用了-g选项，则会有debug段;

查看.o文件是否编入了调试信息（编译的时候是否加了-g):

  1. $readelf -S Shpos.o | grep debug
