NAME
       elfedit - Update the ELF header of ELF files.

SYNOPSIS
       elfedit [--input-mach=machine]
               [--input-type=type]
               [--input-osabi=osabi]
               --output-mach=machine
               --output-type=type
               --output-osabi=osabi
               [-v|--version]
               [-h|--help]
               elffile...

DESCRIPTION
       elfedit updates the ELF header of ELF files which have the matching ELF machine and file types.  The options
       control how and which fields in the ELF header should be updated.

       elffile... are the ELF files to be updated.  32-bit and 64-bit ELF files are supported, as are archives
       containing ELF files.

OPTIONS
       The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent. At least one of the
       --output-mach, --output-type and --output-osabi options must be given.

       --input-mach=machine
           Set the matching input ELF machine type to machine.  If --input-mach isn't specified, it will match any
           ELF machine types.

           The supported ELF machine types are, L1OM, K1OM and x86-64.

       --output-mach=machine
           Change the ELF machine type in the ELF header to machine.  The supported ELF machine types are the same as
           --input-mach.

       --input-type=type
           Set the matching input ELF file type to type.  If --input-type isn't specified, it will match any ELF file
           types.

           The supported ELF file types are, rel, exec and dyn.

       --output-type=type
           Change the ELF file type in the ELF header to type.  The supported ELF types are the same as --input-type.

       --input-osabi=osabi
           Set the matching input ELF file OSABI to osabi.  If --input-osabi isn't specified, it will match any ELF
           OSABIs.

           The supported ELF OSABIs are, none, HPUX, NetBSD, GNU, Linux (alias for GNU), Solaris, AIX, Irix, FreeBSD,
           TRU64, Modesto, OpenBSD, OpenVMS, NSK, AROS and FenixOS.

       --output-osabi=osabi
           Change the ELF OSABI in the ELF header to osabi.  The supported ELF OSABI are the same as --input-osabi.

       -v
       --version

           may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash.  The file may itself contain
           additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
