28 /* Define an ELF note identifying the operating-system ABI that the
29    executable was created for.  The ELF note information identifies a
30    particular OS or coordinated development effort within which the
31    ELF header's e_machine value plus (for dynamically linked programs)
32    the PT_INTERP dynamic linker name and DT_NEEDED shared library
33    names fully identify the runtime environment required by an
34    executable.
35 
36    The general format of ELF notes is as follows.
37    Offsets and lengths are bytes or (parenthetical references) to the
38    values in other fields.
39 
40 offset	length	contents
41 0	4	length of name
42 4	4	length of data
43 8	4	note type
44 12	(0)	vendor name
45 		- null-terminated ASCII string, padded to 4-byte alignment
46 12+(0)	(4)	note data,
47 
48    The GNU project and cooperating development efforts (including the
49    Linux community) use note type 1 and a vendor name string of "GNU"
50    for a note descriptor that indicates ABI requirements.  The note data
51    is four 32-bit words.  The first of these is an operating system
52    number (0=Linux, 1=Hurd, 2=Solaris, ...) and the remaining three
53    identify the earliest release of that OS that supports this ABI.
54    See abi-tags (top level) for details. */
