Libelf lets you read, modify or create ELF files in an architecture-independent way. Libelf takes care of size and endian issues. For example, you can process a file for SPARC processors on an Intel-based system.

This library is a clean-room rewrite of the System V Release 4 library, and is supposed to be source code compatible with it. It was meant primarily for porting SVR4 applications to other operating systems, but can also be used as the basis for new applications (and as a light-weight alternative to libbfd).

What's New in This Release:
The data translator can now handle versioning sections with inconsistent data (as found on Solaris).
Windows DLLs should work now as well.
