Tiny program for emitting the most basic information about an ELF file.

Can detect the compiler used for compiling a given binary, even if it is stripped. The following languages/compilers are supported:

• GCC
• Clang
• FPC
• OCaml
• Go
• TCC (compiler name only, TCC does not store the version number in the executables)
• Rust (for stripped executables, only the compiler name and GCC version used for linking are available)
• GHC

This requires Go 1.11 or later and will install the development version:

go get -u github.com/xyproto/elfinfo

$ elfinfo sh
GCC 8.1.1

$ elfinfo -l /usr/bin/ls
/usr/bin/ls: stripped=true, compiler=GCC 8.2.0, byteorder=LittleEndian, machine=Advanced Micro Devices x86-64
