ELF Reader and Loader
=====================

There are several formats of executable files. The most common ones are a.out and elf. a.out is the oldest one and it is used mainly in BSD Unix.
``elfinfo`` is an ELF executable file reader that displays the header information and the symbol table contained in an elf file.

``loader`` is a loader to load an ELF executable file in memory and run it.
