Documentation

README

GNU Binutils

Purpose

Guide agents through the binutils toolset for binary manipulation: static libraries, stripping, address-to-source mapping, and symbol demangling.

Triggers

  • "How do I create a static library?"
  • "How do I strip a binary but keep a debug file?"
  • "I have an address from a crash — how do I find the source line?"
  • "How do I demangle a C++ symbol name?"
  • "How do I extract/replace sections in a binary?"

Workflow

1. ar — static library management

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
