A tiny utility for parsing ELF/SELF files.

1. Install this package

npm i @bugsplat/elfy

2. Create an instance of ElfFile using the async static factory function create. The ElfFile class implements Disposable so you should use a using statement in TypeScript 5.2+ or call dispose manually.

import { ElfFile } from '@bugsplat/elfy';
using elfFile = await ElfFile.create('path/to/elf/file');
// or
const elfFile = await ElfFile.create('path/to/elf/file');
try {
    ...
} finally {
    elfFile.dispose();
}

3. Read the contents of a section using readSection. This method throws if the section does not exist.

const contents: Buffer = await elfFile.readSection('.note.gnu.build-id');

4. You can also safely read the contents of a section using tryReadSection.

const { success, section } = await elfFile.tryReadSection('.note.gnu.build-id');
