ELF Hello World Tutorial Section header table by
Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-11 +Created 1970-01-01
Array of
Elf64_Shdr
structs.Each entry contains metadata about a given section.
e_shoff
of the ELF header gives the starting position, 0x40 here.So the table takes bytes from 0x40 to
0x40 + 7 + 0x40 - 1
= 0x1FF.Some section names are reserved for certain section types: www.sco.com/developers/gabi/2003-12-17/ch4.sheader.html#special_sections e.g.
.text
requires a SHT_PROGBITS
type and SHF_ALLOC
+ SHF_EXECINSTR
Running:outputs:
readelf -S hello_world.o
There are 7 section headers, starting at offset 0x40:

Quadrupole splitting refers to the interaction of electric quadrupole moments in nuclei or atoms in the presence of an electric field gradient. It is an important concept in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Mössbauer spectroscopy, among other spectroscopy techniques. In essence, when a nucleus with a non-spherical charge distribution (i.e., a quadrupole moment) is placed in an electric field gradient, it experiences an energy shift depending on the orientation of the nucleus relative to the electric field.
Javier Martín-Torres is a Spanish astrophysicist and researcher known for his work in planetary science, particularly in the study of Mars and the potential for life in extraterrestrial environments. He has been involved in research related to the atmospheric conditions on Mars, the habitability of other celestial bodies, and the implications of his findings for understanding the potential for life beyond Earth.
The user friendly Chess UI! Exactly what you would expect from a GNOME Project package. But also packs some punch via the Universal Chess Interface, e.g. Stockfish just works.
Section type:
sh_type == SHT_STRTAB
.Common name: "section header string table".
This section gets pointed to by the
e_shstrnd
field of the ELF header itself.String indexes of this section are are pointed to by the
sh_name
field of section headers, which denote strings.This section does not have outputs:
SHF_ALLOC
marked, so it will not appear on the executing program.readelf -x .shstrtab hello_world.o

Richard A. Anthes is a prominent figure in the fields of meteorology and atmospheric science. He is best known for his contributions to weather forecasting and climate research, particularly through his work with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in the United States, where he served as director from 1988 to 1999. Anthes has been influential in the development of numerical weather prediction models and has made significant contributions to understanding mesoscale meteorology and the interaction between weather and climate.
Advanced. Not beginner friendly, very clunky.
Atmospheric sounding is a technique used to measure and analyze the vertical profile of atmospheric variables, such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, throughout the atmosphere. This process provides critical data that helps meteorologists and scientists understand weather patterns, climate variations, and atmospheric conditions. There are several methods and instruments used for atmospheric sounding, including: 1. **Weather Balloons (Radiosondes)**: A common method involving the release of balloons that carry instruments (radiosondes) into the atmosphere.
Boundary layer meteorology is a specialized field of meteorology that focuses on the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), which is the lowest part of the Earth's atmosphere. This region extends from the surface up to a few kilometers above ground level and is directly influenced by the Earth's surface and its characteristics, such as land use, vegetation, topography, and temperature.
High Integrity C++ is a set of guidelines and methodologies aimed at ensuring the reliability, safety, and maintainability of C++ code, particularly in critical systems where failures can lead to significant consequences, such as in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and other safety-critical applications. The main focus of High Integrity C++ is to provide a standardized approach to developing software that adheres to strict quality standards.
Cloud and fog physics is a branch of atmospheric science that focuses on understanding the formation, development, and interactions of clouds and fog in the Earth's atmosphere. This field of study encompasses various processes related to the microphysical, thermodynamic, and dynamic properties of clouds and fog. ### Key Components of Cloud and Fog Physics: 1. **Cloud Formation**: Clouds form when moist air rises, cools, and condenses into water droplets or ice crystals.
Atom localization generally refers to the methods and processes used to determine the precise position of atoms within a given system or material. The concept is particularly relevant in various fields such as physics, chemistry, and material science. In the context of quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics, atom localization can describe scenarios where atoms or particles are influenced by potential wells or barriers that restrict their movement, leading to localized states.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
