Linux系统编程练习 ELF文件头读取和修改

ELF 文件有三种类型：可重定位文件：也就是通常称的目标文件，后缀为.o。共享文件：也就是通常称的库文件，后缀为.so。可执行文件：本文主要讨论的文件格 式，总的来说，可执行文件的格式与上述两种文件的格式之间的区别主要在于观察的角度不同：一种称为连接视图（Linking View），一种称为执行视图（Execution View）。
一个典型的ELF文件有两种描述视图:program header和section header.
program header:是对程序运行时所使用的段的描述.
section header: 是对所有二进制段的描述.
每一个ELF文件是由一个ELF 文件头(ELF header)和其余的文件数据构成.这些文件数据包括一下一些内容:
·Program header table 描述0个或是多个段(segments)
·Section header table, 描述0个或是多个节(sections)
·要写到上面两个表中的数据.
段(segments)包含的是程序运行是必要的信息
节(sections)包含的是链接和重定向时所需要的重要数据
同一时间整个文件中的每个beyt不会属于一个以上的段,但是也可以存在不属于任何段的字节.

linux下ELF文件分析工具:
readelfis: 是一个unix下的二进制工具,用来显示一个或多个ELF文件的信息.
elfdump: 是一个Solaris命令,用来查看单个ELF文件的信息.
objdump:     可以查看ELF文件或是其它对象格式的更多信息.

这里自己写了个简单的分析ELF文件头和修改文件头的小程序

从网上搜集来的这篇文章，中间提到的修改elf文件信息的这段比较的吸引我。
不知道有没有办法，修改elf文件，能够在相关的地方插入一段自己的代码放到程序中间去。
