来自维基 Executable and Linkable Format :

The segments contain information that is necessary for runtime execution of the file, while sections contain important data for linking and relocation. Any byte in the entire file can be owned by at most one section, and there can be orphan bytes which are not owned by any section.

但是section和segment有什么区别呢？ 在一个可执行的 ELF 文件中，一个段是否包含一个或多个节？

最佳答案

But what's difference between section and segment?

正是您引用的内容:段包含运行时所需的信息，而部分包含链接期间所需的信息。

does a segment contain one or more sections?

一个段可以包含 0 个或多个部分。示例:

readelf -l /bin/date
