     1.4 +This is a collection of programs that are generally unrelated, except in
     1.5 +that they all deal with ELF files.
     1.6 +
     1.7 +The main purpose of these programs is to be illustrative and educational
     1.8 +-- to help fellow programmers understand ELF files and something of how
     1.9 +they work under the Linux platform.
    1.10 +
    1.11 +Each program is independent. There is very little shared code between them,
    1.12 +and in fact they all take slightly different approaches to handling ELF files.
    1.13 +
    1.14 +The package includes:
    1.15 +
    1.16 +* sstrip: a small utility that removes a few bytes from an executable that
    1.17 +  strip leaves behind.
    1.18 +* elftoc: a program that takes an ELF file and generates C code that defines
    1.19 +  a struct with the same memory image, using the structs and preprocessor
    1.20 +  symbols defined in <elf.h>.
    1.21 +* elfls: a utility that displays an ELF file's program or section header tables,
    1.22 +  which serve as a kind of global roadmap to the file's contents.
    1.23 +* rebind: a small utility that alters the binding of selected symbols in an
    1.24 +  object file.
