The readelf utility’s source code has been refactored to improve organization. Function definitions like get_program_headers and get_dynamic_section are now placed immediately after their bitness-dependent helpers. This change also moves get_section_headers and get_elf_symbols to group related functionalities and removes the need for certain forward declarations.
