elf-inspector is a set of utilities to inspect binary ELF files and collect interesting data from them. This is also a ScanCode-toolkit plugin and is also designed to work integrated in ScanCode.io for binary analysis.

This library uses: - [pyelftools](https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools) - [bids-analyser](https://github.com/APH10/BIDS)

To install and use:

• Run pip install elf-inspector

• Scancode now has two new options:

  --dwarf Collect source code path from compilation units found in
  ELF DWARFs.
  --elf Collect symbols and required dependent library names from
  an ELF binary file.
  

• Use with scancode --json-pp - --dwarf --elf --verbose

The JSON output will contain various dependencies and symbols found in binaries if any.
