an ELF object file access library

 libelf provides routines to access and manipulate ELF object
 files. It is still not complete, but is required for a number of programs,
 such as Eli (a state of the art compiler generation system), and Elk (the
 Extension Language Kit - an implementation of the Scheme programming
 language.)
 .
 This shared library may be needed by pre-packaged programs. To compile
 programs with this library, you will need to install the libelfg0-dev
 package as well.
