nx_readelf.nx source

1// nx_readelf.nx -- sovereign readelf (one-stop ELF dump). 2// 3// Combines our existing objdump + nm + dwarf-section enumeration 4// into a single output that mirrors `readelf -a`. Useful as the 5// canonical "show me everything in this ELF" tool for sovereign 6// debugging without binutils. 7// 8// Sections: 9// * ELF header 10// * Program headers (with type / flags / vaddr / filesz / memsz) 11// * Section headers (idx / name / type / addr / offset / size) 12// * Symbol table (one entry per symbol) 13// * (DWARF section sizes, if present) 14// 15// Pairs with nx_objdump (subset) + nx_nm. 16 17// nx_safety_envelope: 18// intended_use: AUTO_APPLIED -- primitive-specific tuning queued 19// sil_target: SIL1 20// evidence: [bulk_applied_2026-05-16, see-file-comment-for-detail] 21// verdict: NOT_YET_EVALUATED 22 23import "syscalls.nx" 24import "nx_elf_read.nx" 25import "nx_strfmt.nx" 26import "nx_objdump.nx" 27import "nx_nm.nx" 28 29// Read program header at index `idx`.
