As a learning experience, I've hacked a man page (using the a.out page as 
a reference) for elf.5.  Since I've had no involvement with the FreeBSD 
coding of ELF, I have no doubt it has a lot of errors, and as a data 
reference I used an old ESIX SVR4 manual.  For one thing, this man page 
references the FreeBSD elf.h, which doesn't yet exist.

If anyone thinks (who knows the FreeBSD implementation better than I) 
they would like this as a good start point for a real ELF man page, I'd be 
glad to send this to them.  It does describe the ELF header, section 
header, and program header arrays in quite some detail, and I tried 
pretty hard to follow the mdoc.samples example.
