10 8: st_name = 01000000 = character 1 in the .strtab, which until the following \0 makes hello_world.asm

This piece of information file may be used by the linker to decide on which segment sections go: e.g. in ld linker script we write:

segment_name :
{
    file(section)
}

to pick a section from a given file.

Most of the time however, we will just dump all sections with a given name together with:

segment_name :
{
    *(section)
}

10 12: st_info = 04

Bits 0-3 = ELF64_R_TYPE = Type = 4 = STT_FILE: the main purpose of this entry is to use st_name to indicate the name of the file which generated this object file.

Bits 4-7 = ELF64_ST_BIND = Binding = 0 = STB_LOCAL. Required value for STT_FILE.
