//! Support for reading ELF files.
//!
//! Traits are used to abstract over the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit ELF.
//! The primary trait for this is [`FileHeader`].
//!
//! ## High level API
//!
//! [`ElfFile`] implements the [`Object`](crate::read::Object) trait for ELF files.
//! [`ElfFile`] is parameterised by [`FileHeader`] to allow reading both 32-bit and
//! 64-bit ELF. There are type aliases for these parameters ([`ElfFile32`] and
//! [`ElfFile64`]).
//!
//! ## Low level API
//!
//! The [`FileHeader`] trait can be directly used to parse both [`elf::FileHeader32`]
//! and [`elf::FileHeader64`].
//!
//! ### Example for low level API
//! ```no_run
//! use object::elf;
//! use object::read::elf::{FileHeader, Sym};
//! use std::error::Error;
//! use std::fs;
//!
//! /// Reads a file and displays the name of each symbol.
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
//! # #[cfg(feature = "std")] {
//! let data = fs::read("path/to/binary")?;
//! let elf = elf::FileHeader64::<object::Endianness>::parse(&*data)?;
//! let endian = elf.endian()?;
//! let sections = elf.sections(endian, &*data)?;
//! let symbols = sections.symbols(endian, &*data, elf::SHT_SYMTAB)?;
//! for symbol in symbols.iter() {
//! let name = symbol.name(endian, symbols.strings())?;
//! println!("{}", String::from_utf8_lossy(name));
//! }
//! # }
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
