elf-inspector 0.0.3

A utility to inspect ELF binary files. Designed as a ScanCode plugin.

elf-inspector is a set of utilities to inspect binary ELF files and collect interesting data from them. This is also a ScanCode-toolkit plugin and is also designed to work integrated in ScanCode.io for binary analysis.

This library uses: - [pyelftools](https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools) - [bids-analyser](https://github.com/APH10/BIDS)

To install and use:

• Run pip install elf-inspector

• Scancode now has two new options:

  --dwarf           Collect source code path from compilation units found in
                    ELF DWARFs.
  --elf             Collect symbols and required dependent library names from
                    an ELF binary file.

• Use with scancode --json-pp - --dwarf --elf --verbose <PATH to a tree or file with ELF binaries>

The JSON output will contain various dependencies and symbols found in binaries if any.
