TODO compare with actual datasetes.
Sections with
sh_type == SHT_STRTAB are called string tables.They hold a null separated array of strings.
Such sections are used by other sections when string names are to be used. The using section says:
- which string table they are using
- what is the index on the target string table where the string starts
So for example, we could have a string table containing:
Data: \0 a b c \0 d e f \0
Index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8And if another section wants to use the string
d e f, they have to point to index 5 of this section (letter d).Notable string table sections:

snap is more closed than Flatpak. Why do the electron and the proton have the same charge except for the opposite signs? Updated 2025-04-24 +Created 1970-01-01
Given the view of the Standard Model where the electron and quarks are just completely separate matter fields, there is at first sight no clear theoretical requirement for that.
As mentioned e.g. at QED and the men who made it: Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga by Silvan Schweber (1994) chapter 1.6 "Hole theory", Dirac initially wanted to think of the holes in his hole theory as the protons, as a way to not have to postulate a new particle, the positron, and as a way to "explain" the proton in similar terms. Others however soon proposed arguments why the positron would need to have the same mass, and this idea had to be discarded.
Unfortunately, due to lack of one page to rule them all, the on-Git tree publication list is meager, some of the most relevant ones seems to be:
- 2021 open access review paper: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/ecosalplus.ESP-0001-2020 "The E. coli Whole-Cell Modeling Project". They should just past that stuff in a README :-) The article mentions that it is a follow up to the previous M. genitalium whole cell model by Covert lab. Only 43% of known genes modelled at this point however, a shame.
- 2020 under Science paywall: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aav3751 "Simultaneous cross-evaluation of heterogeneous E. coli datasets via mechanistic simulation"

The first section is always magic: www.sco.com/developers/gabi/2003-12-17/ch4.sheader.html says:
If the number of sections is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), e_shnum has the value SHN_UNDEF (0) and the actual number of section header table entries is contained in the sh_size field of the section header at index 0 (otherwise, the sh_size member of the initial entry contains 0).
There are also other magic sections detailed in

The key to solve conflicts is:
You have to understand what are the two commits that touched a given line (one from master, one from features), and then combine them somehow.
