# `static-pie` | |
A small library for applying simple fix ups to an ELF file, possibly the | |
currently running binary. | |
Binaries compiled in position-independent code (PIC) mode often require _fix | |
ups_ to ensure that statically initialized pointers and pointers in | |
compiler-generated runtime data structures point to the correct location in | |
memory. | |
This library parses the ELF file's relocation tables, applying any such fix ups. |
