NAME
       patchelf - Modify ELF files

SYNOPSIS
       patchelf OPTION FILE

DESCRIPTION
       PatchELF is a simple utility for modifying existing ELF executables and
       libraries.  It can change the dynamic  loader  ("ELF  interpreter")  of
       executables and change the RPATH of executables and libraries.

OPTIONS
       The single option given operates on a given FILE, editing in place.

       --set-interpreter INTERPRETER
	      Change  the  dynamic  loader  ("ELF  interpreter") of executable
	      given to INTERPRETER.

       --print-intepreter
	      Prints the ELF interpreter of the executable.

       --set-rpath RPATH
	      Change the RPATH of the executable or library to RPATH.

       --shrink-rpath
	      Remove from the RPATH all directories  that  do  not  contain  a
	      library  referenced  by  DT_NEEDED  fields  of the executable or
	      library.

	      For instance, if an executable references one library libfoo.so,
	      has an RPATH "/lib:/usr/lib:/foo/lib", and libfoo.so can only be
	      found in /foo/lib, then the new RPATH will be "/foo/lib".

       --print-rpath
	      Prints the RPATH for an executable or library.

       --force-rpath
	      Forces the use of the obsolete DT_RPATH in the file  instead  of
	      DT_RUNPATH. By default DT_RPATH is converted to DT_RUNPATH.

       --debug
	      Prints details of the changes made to the input file.

       --version
	      Shows the version of patchelf.
