Understanding ELF Object Files and Debugging Tools

This volume provides a complete description of the executable and linking library (ELF) of the object code produced by the C language compilation system. It covers program linking, program execution, and the ELF access library.

---

Part of the Prentice Hall "Open Systems Library", this title is aimed at programmers who need to access and manipulate object files. Because it provides a larger perspective on the working of the UNIX system V Release 4 compilation system - especially dynamic linking - it should also be useful for programmers who want to broaden their understanding of the C language. Coverage focuses on program linking, program execution and the ELF access library.
