Document the ELF file format #60

Closed Mesabloo closed 2 years ago

Mesabloo commented 2 years ago

This isn't part of the project as is, but needs to be done for maintainability purposes. Describing how the ELF format has been understood to work, as well as the point of any field which is set anywhere in the elfgen sub-library, allows having a clear description of the goal of everything done on the format itself.

Turns out this has already been documented: https://linux.die.net/man/5/elf This is therefore not needed.
