The elfutils documentation is very much a work in
 | 
						|
progress. Contributions are welcome.
 | 
						|
Please reports bugs at https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
 | 
						|
Please send additions and patches to: elfutils-devel@sourceware.org
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The elfutils utilities are a new implementation of many of the
 | 
						|
utilities found in binutils and consequently, the documentation for
 | 
						|
most of the tools has been the the man pages for binutils. For example
 | 
						|
you could refer to readelf's man page for instructions on
 | 
						|
eu-readelf. This has been fine up until this point but as tools gain
 | 
						|
new capabilities, they will need to have their own individual man
 | 
						|
page. Forking the man pages from binutils is acceptable and the
 | 
						|
current plan of action.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
New utilities that do not have an analog in binutils can have their
 | 
						|
initial man pages generated using a tool like help2man.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The C language interfaces for libelf, libdw, and libdwfl are in
 | 
						|
particular need of documentation. The aspirational goal is write these
 | 
						|
in sphinx. |
