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.
