28/* Define an ELF note identifying the operating-system ABI that the
29 executable was created for. The ELF note information identifies a
30 particular OS or coordinated development effort within which the
31 ELF header's e_machine value plus (for dynamically linked programs)
32 the PT_INTERP dynamic linker name and DT_NEEDED shared library
33 names fully identify the runtime environment required by an
34 executable.
35
36 The general format of ELF notes is as follows.
37 Offsets and lengths are bytes or (parenthetical references) to the
38 values in other fields.
39
40offset length contents
410 4 length of name
424 4 length of data
438 4 note type
4412 (0) vendor name
45 - null-terminated ASCII string, padded to 4-byte alignment
4612+(0) (4) note data,
47
48 The GNU project and cooperating development efforts (including the
49 Linux community) use note type 1 and a vendor name string of "GNU"
50 for a note descriptor that indicates ABI requirements. The note data
51 is four 32-bit words. The first of these is an operating system
52 number (0=Linux, 1=Hurd, 2=Solaris, ...) and the remaining three
53 identify the earliest release of that OS that supports this ABI.
54 See abi-tags (top level) for details. */
