SYNOPSIS
       scanelf [options] ELFs or directories

DESCRIPTION
       scanelf is a user-space utility to quickly scan given ELFs,
       directories, or common system paths for different information. This may
       include ELF types, their PaX markings, TEXTRELs, etc...

OPTIONS
       -A, --archives
           Scan archives (.a files)

       -a, --all
           Print all scanned info (-x -e -t -r -n -i -b)

       -B, --banner
           Don't display the header

       -b, --bind
           Print BIND information

       -E, --etype ETYPE
           Print only ELF files matching specified etype (like ET_DYN,
           ET_EXEC, etc...)

       -e, --header
           Print GNU_STACK markings

       -F, --format FORMAT
           Use specified format for output; see the FORMAT section

           Read input stream from specified filename

       -g, --gmatch
           Use strncmp to match libraries (use with -N). Or regexp with symbol
           matching

       -h, --help
           Show condensed usage and exit

       -i, --interp
           Print INTERP information

       -k, --section SECTION
           Find the specified section

       -L, --ldcache
           Utilize ld.so.cache information (use with -r/-n)

       -l, --ldpath
           Scan all directories in /etc/ld.so.conf

       -N, --lib SONAME
           Find ELFs that need the specified SONAME

       -n, --needed
           Print NEEDED information

       -o, --file FILE
           Write output stream to specified filename

       -p, --path
           Scan all directories in PATH environment

       -q, --quiet
           Only output 'bad' things.

       -R, --recursive
           Scan directories recursively

       -r, --rpath
           Print RUNPATH information

       -S, --soname
           Print SONAME information

       -s, --symbol SYMBOL
           Find the specified symbol; a - prefix will only show undefined
           references while a + prefix will only show defined references while
           no prefix will show both

       -T, --textrels
           Locate cause of TEXTRELs

       -t, --textrel
           Print TEXTREL information

       -V, --version
           Print version and exit

       -v, --verbose
           Be verbose (can be used more than once)

       -X, --fix
           Try and 'fix' bad things (use with -r/-e)

       -x, --pax
           Print PaX markings

       -y, --symlink
           Don't scan symlinks

       -z, --setpax FLAGS
           Sets EI_PAX/PT_PAX_FLAGS to specified flags (use with -Xx)

FORMAT
       related flag has an equivalent conversion specifier, so use those
       instead. You can of course continue to use non-information related
       flags (such as --verbose).

       There are three characters that introduce conversion specifiers.  o % -
       replace with info .sp -1 .TP 4 o # - silent boolean match .sp -1 .TP 4
       o + - verbose match


       And there are a number of conversion specifiers. We try to match up the
       specifier with corresponding option.  o a - machine (EM) type .sp -1
       .TP 4 o b - bind flags .sp -1 .TP 4 o e - program headers .sp -1 .TP 4
       o D - endian .sp -1 .TP 4 o F - long filename .sp -1 .TP 4 o f - short
       filename .sp -1 .TP 4 o i - interp .sp -1 .TP 4 o k - section .sp -1
       .TP 4 o M - EI class .sp -1 .TP 4 o N - specified needed .sp -1 .TP 4 o
       n - needed libraries .sp -1 .TP 4 o p - filename (minus search) .sp -1
       .TP 4 o o - etype .sp -1 .TP 4 o O - perms .sp -1 .TP 4 o r - runpaths
       .sp -1 .TP 4 o S - SONAME .sp -1 .TP 4 o s - symbol .sp -1 .TP 4 o T -
       all textrels .sp -1 .TP 4 o t - textrel status .sp -1 .TP 4 o x - pax
       flags


ELF ETYPES
       You can narrow your search by specifying the ELF object file type
       (ETYPE). The commandline option takes the numeric value and or symbolic
       type. Multiple values can be passed comma separated. Example -E
       ET_EXEC,ET_DYN,1

       Here is the normal list available for your pleasure. You of course are
       free to specify any numeric value you want.  o 0 - ET_NONE - unknown
       type .sp -1 .TP 4 o 1 - ET_REL - relocatable file .sp -1 .TP 4 o 2 -
       ET_EXEC - executable file .sp -1 .TP 4 o 3 - ET_DYN - shared object .sp
       -1 .TP 4 o 4 - ET_CORE - core file


ELF BITS
       You can also narrow your search by specifying the ELF bitsize. Again,
       specify the numeric value or the symbolic define.  o 32 - ELFCLASS32 -
       32bit ELFs .sp -1 .TP 4 o 64 - ELFCLASS64 - 64bit ELFs
