ELF Package and Dlopen Notes Reference Implementation ## Description This repository provides RPM and DEB packaging tools to generate an `.note.package` ELF note that will be linked into compiled binaries (programs and shared libraries) to provide metadata about the package for which the binary was compiled. See [Package Metadata for Core Files](https://systemd.io/ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA/) for the overview and details. The new `--package-metadata` option provided by `bfd`, `gold`, `mold`, and `lld` is used. It also provides scripts to extract and display `.note.dlopen` ELF notes that are used to describe libraries loaded via `dlopen(3)`. See [`dlopen()` Metadata for ELF Files](https://systemd.io/ELF_DLOPEN_METADATA/) for the overview and details. ## Requirements * binutils (>= 2.39) * mold (>= 1.3.0) * lld (>= 15.0.0)
