#!/usr/bin/env python from __future__ import print_function ''' Helper script to print out the raw content of an ELF section. Example usages: ``` # print out as bits by default extract-section.py .text --input-file=foo.o ``` ``` # read from stdin and print out in hex cat foo.o | extract-section.py -h .text ``` This is merely a wrapper around `llvm-readobj` that focuses on the binary content as well as providing more formatting options.
