  The exploration and understanding of Executable and Linkable Format (ELF)
objects underpin various critical activities in computer systems, from
debugging to reverse engineering. Traditional UNIX tooling like readelf, nm,
and objdump have served the community reliably over the years. However, as the
complexity and scale of software projects has grown, there arises a need for
more intuitive, flexible, and powerful methods to investigate ELF objects. In
this paper, we introduce sqlelf, an innovative tool that empowers users to
probe ELF objects through the expressive power of SQL. By modeling ELF objects
as relational databases, sqlelf offers the following advantages over
conventional methods.
  Our evaluations demonstrate that sqlelf not only provides more nuanced and
comprehensive insights into ELF objects but also significantly reduces the
effort and time traditionally required for ELF exploration tasks
