ELF Package Notes Reference Implementation
## Description
This repository provides a script to generate an ELF note that can be
linked into compiled binaries (programs and shared libraries) to provide
metadata about the package for which the binary was compiled.
See [Package Metadata for Core Files](https://systemd.io/COREDUMP_PACKAGE_METADATA/)
for the overview and details.
We provide implementations in Python and POSIX shell, with compatible CLI
interfaces.
