Hi Gery,

Let's start with a greeting, you'll be welcome and you're done with
50% of the "etiquette".
The OP stands for "original poster" and refers to the thread starter.
Finally I like to conclude a post with a closing formula or just a
signature including your name.  That's the second part of the
"etiquette".

What I mean by rude is that questions like "How to read ELF data?"
motivates no one to answer as we have to ask for clarification first.
If you'd have asked "How do I read custom ELF sections added by GCC
using C?" everyone knows exactly what you want just by being a bit
more accurate.

Regarding your original question: try readelf first.  It'll probably
do the trick.

	\Steve
