In the intricate landscape of software development and system analysis, tools like readelf, nm, and objdump have been the go-to solutions for delving into Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) objects. These tools, while robust, follow the pattern of many Unix utilities and dump unstructured output to the console which can make it difficult to perform advanced analysis. We present 'sqlelf' which allows declarative access to ELF files. It brings a refreshing shift, offering a friendlier and more versatile way to explore ELF objects using SQL.
