How it works

Read e_ident independently of the remaining header. Check magic, class, data encoding and version.

7F454C46020101000000000000000000 identifies ELF64, little-endian, System V ABI.

Limits

Identification only. Reserved-byte warnings do not establish whether the complete executable is valid or safe.
