elfclassify: New tool to analyze ELF objects.

Usage: elfclassify [OPTION...] FILE...
Determine the type of an ELF file.

All of the classification options must apply at the same time to a
particular file.  Classification options can be negated using a
"--not-" prefix.

Since modern ELF does not clearly distinguish between programs and
dynamic shared objects, you should normally use either --executable or
--shared to identify the primary purpose of a file.  Only one of the
--shared and --executable checks can pass for a file.

If you want to know whether an ELF object might a program or a shared
library (but could be both), then use --program or --library. Some ELF
files will classify as both a program and a library.

If you just want to know whether an ELF file is loadable (as program
or library) use --loadable.  Note that files that only contain
(separate) debug information (--debug-only) are never --loadable (even
though they might contain program headers).  Linux kernel modules are
also not --loadable (in the normal sense).

Without any of the --print options, the program exits with status 0 if
the requested checks pass for all input files, with 1 if a check fails
for any file, and 2 if there is an environmental issue (such as a file
read error or a memory allocation error).

When printing file names, the program exits with status 0 even if no
file names are printed, and exits with status 2 if there is an
environmental issue.

On usage error (e.g. a bad option was given), the program exits with a
status code larger than 2.

The --quiet or -q oose_filestion suppresses some error warning output,
but doesn't change the exit status.

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 DSO)
  --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

+\"--not-\" prefix.\
+\n\n\
+Since modern ELF does not clearly distinguish between programs and \
+dynamic shared objects, you should normally use either --executable or \
+--shared to identify the primary purpose of a file.  \
+Only one of the --shared and --executable checks can pass for a file.\
+\n\n\
+If you want to know whether an ELF object might a program or a \
+shared library (but could be both), then use --program or --library. \
+Some ELF files will classify as both a program and a library.\
+\n\n\
+If you just want to know whether an ELF file is loadable (as program \
+or library) use --loadable.  Note that files that only contain \
+(separate) debug information (--debug-only) are never --loadable (even \
+though they might contain program headers).  Linux kernel modules are \
+also not --loadable (in the normal sense).\
+\n\n\
+Without any of the --print options, the program exits with status 0 \
+if the requested checks pass for all input files, with 1 if a check \
+fails for any file, and 2 if there is an environmental issue (such \
+as a file read error or a memory allocation error).\
+\n\n\
+When printing file names, the program exits with status 0 even if \
+no file names are printed, and exits with status 2 if there is an \
+environmental issue.\
+\n\n\
+On usage error (e.g. a bad option was given), the program exits with \
+a status code larger than 2.\
+\n\n\
+The --quiet or -q option suppresses some error warning output, but \
+doesn't change the exit status.\
