.SH NAME
elftoc \- translate an ELF file into a C struct
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B elftoc
[OPTIONS] FILE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B elftoc
takes as input an ELF file, and translates its content into a C source
file describing a struct with an initialized value that matches the
ELF file's memory image. Where possible, literal values are replaced
with preprocessor symbols and sizeof-based calculations.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-e ", " \--force\-end
Force inclusion of a final _end field in the C struct. By default, an
_end field is only included if the padding causes the struct to be
larger than the original ELF file. With this option, a struct with no
extra padding will provide an _end field defined as a zero-length
array.
.TP
.BR \-E ", " \--exclude\-end
Do not include a final _end field, even if padding is present at the
end of the C struct.
.TP
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\--width=\fR\fIN\fR
Set the maximum line width in the output to
.IR N .
The default maximum line width is 80.
.TP
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\--indent=\fR\fIN\fR
Set the number of spaces to indent to
.IR N .
The default indentation amount is 2.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\--structname=\fR\fINAME\fR
Set the name of the C struct in the generated source code to
.IR NAME .
By default the struct's name is "elf".
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\--varname=\fR\fINAME\fR
Set the name of the variable in the generated source code to
.IR NAME .
By default the variable's name is "foo".
.TP
.BR \-m ", " \--allow\-misaligned
A misaligned section in the ELF file would cause padding bytes to be
inserted in the C struct. To avoid this,
.B elftoc
represents misaligned sections as uninterpreted byte arrays,
regardless of their original type. This option suppresses this
behavior, so that misaligned sections retain their actual type, even
when this creates an incorrect image in the C struct.
.TP
.BR \-q ", " \--quiet
Suppress warning messages regarding invalid and contradictory values
in the ELF file.
.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\--output=\fR\fIFILENAME\fR
Write the C source code to
.I FILENAME
instead of to standard output.
.TP
.B \--help
Display help and exit.
.TP
.B \--version
Display version information and exit.
