df-1-pie

= `DF_1_PIE`

Determines if an executable is a position independent executable (PIE).

Seems to be informational only, since not used by Linux kernel 5.0 or glibc 2.29.

`file` 5.36 however does use it to display file type as explained at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34519521/why-does-gcc-create-a-shared-object-instead-of-an-executable-binary-according-to/55704865#55704865
