作为一名Android开发工程师，尤其是音视频领域，NDK开发一直都是主流，但是我们是否有认真了解过我们经常使用的.so等文件具体是怎样的一个格式呢？？
一、ELF简介
ELF（Executableand Linking Format 可执行和链接格式），ELF文件格式是一个开放标准,各种UNIX系统的可执行文件都采用ELF格式,它有三种不同的类型:
- 可重定位的目标文件(Relocatable)也就是通常称的目标文件，后缀为
.o - 可执行文件(Executable)
- 共享库(Shared Object)共享文件：也就是通常称的库文件，后缀为
.so
二、ELF文件结构
elf-file-format
注意：段（Segment）与节（Section）的区别。很多地方对两者有所混淆。段是程序执行的必要组成，当多个目标文件链接成一个可执行文件时，会将相同权限的节合并到一个段中。相比而言，节的粒度更小。
如图所示，为ELF文件的基本结构，其主要由四部分组成：
- ELF Header
- ELF Program Header Table (或称Program Headers、程序头)
- ELF Section Header Table (或称Section Headers、节头表)
- ELF Sections
从图中，我们就能看出它们各自的数据结构以及相互之间的索引关系。
三、ELF示例
如下是一个C语言的Hello world示例，来帮助我们理解ELF文件类型：
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}
使用如下命令编译：
gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world
在编译完成后，使用如下命令查看编译完成后的hello_worldELF文件信息：
readelf -a hello_world
显示信息如下：

如上是一个完成的ELF文件信息，其实对于我们来讲，分析ELF文件格式更多是为了帮助我们理解程序运行的原理，比如程序是如何找到对应的函数等等，其实都是有特定的规则，比如在此文件的238行，我们能够找到我们写的main函数以及228行中的print函数等，这些信息都是可以帮助我们理解计算机世界里的活动轨迹，关于ELF的更多细节，详见参考链接。
