.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBelfedit\fR updates the \s-1ELF\s0 header and program property of \s-1ELF\s0
files which have the matching \s-1ELF\s0 machine and file types.  The options
control how and which fields in the \s-1ELF\s0 header and program property
should be updated.
.PP
\&\fIelffile\fR... are the \s-1ELF\s0 files to be updated.  32\-bit and
64\-bit \s-1ELF\s0 files are supported, as are archives containing \s-1ELF\s0 files.

.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "@file"
Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR.  The options read are
inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option.  If \fIfile\fR
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
literally, and not removed.
.Sp
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including a
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
with a backslash.  The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
