What is an ELF file?
In short
ELF is the program format of Linux, Android and BSD: programs, shared libraries (.so), object files and kernel modules.
The kind of file, machine, 32 or 64-bit, loader, the libraries it needs, its build ID, whether it is stripped, and its sections.
How to open an ELF file
- Add your ELF. Drop the file in the box, choose it or paste it.
- Look at it. The kind of file, machine, 32 or 64-bit, loader, the libraries it needs, its build ID, whether it is stripped, and its sections.
- Take it further. Download any file from inside an archive, or open another file.
Questions
Drop it here: its needed libraries are listed, as ldd would, without running it.
Yes. The viewer reads the file’s headers as data; the program never runs. Nothing is uploaded either.
No. The viewer runs in your browser and opens the file on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
