7Libabigail is a library which aims at constructing, manipulating,
8serializing and de-serializing ABI-relevant artifacts.
9
10It also comes with a set of associated command line tools to compare
11the interfaces of ELF binaries resulting from the compilation of C or
12C++ programs.
13
14Typical use cases of libabigail tools include detecting ABI
15incompatible changes across several releases of shared libraries or
16incompatible changes in the interface between a Linux kernel and its
17modules, for instance.
18
19Users can of course write their own tools using the library.

21The library comes with extensive API documentation available online at
22https://sourceware.org/libabigail/apidoc.  The tools are documented
