+@code{readelf} displays information about one or more ELF format object
+files.  The options control what particular information to display.
+
+@var{elffile}@dots{} are the object files to be examined.  At the
+moment, @code{readelf} does not support examining archives, nor does it
+support examing 64 bit ELF files.
+
+The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
+equivalent.  At least one option besides @samp{-v} or @samp{-H} must be
+given.

+Equivalent to specifiying @samp{--file-header},
+@samp{--program-headers}, @samp{--sections}, @samp{--symbols},
+@samp{--relocs}, @samp{--dynamic} and @samp{--version-info}.
+
+@item -h
+@itemx --file-header
+@cindex ELF file header information
+Displays the information contained in the ELF header at the start of the
+file.
+
+@item -l
+@itemx --program-headers
+@itemx --segments
+@cindex ELF program header information
+@cindex ELF segment information
+Displays the information contained in the file's segment headers, if it
+has any.
