Just googling for 'ELF' quickly yields the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format which contains several links to documents describing plenty of details. You can also read the elf(5) manpage in FreeBSD If that information is not what you are looking for you will have to ask much more specific questions (which hopefully somebody will be able to answer.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
