The libkldelf library was originally a part of kldxref(8). It exposed ELF parsing helpers specialized in parsing KLDs and the kernel executable. The library can be used to read metadata such as linker_set, mod_depend, mod_version and PNP match info, and raw data from the ELF. To promote the reuse of the facilities the ELF parsing code is separated from kldxref(8) into a new private library. For now, libkldelf's source files will be compiled into kldxref(8) directly if kldxref is built during bootstrapping phase. The reason is linking kldxref(8) against the libkldelf static library has an unwanted side effect which renders the linker sets inside the libkldelf implementation empty if the static library is not build by ld -r all the .o files into a single .o before producing the static library.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
