* <code>[[readelf]]</code> is a Unix binary utility that displays information about one or more ELF files. A [[free software]] implementation is provided by [[GNU Binutils]].
* <code>elfutils</code> provides alternative tools to [[GNU Binutils]] purely for Linux.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sourceware.org/elfutils/|title=elfutils|website=sourceware.org|access-date=30 April 2017}}</ref>
* <code>elfdump</code> is a command for viewing ELF information in an ELF file, available under Solaris and [[FreeBSD]].
* <code>[[objdump]]</code> provides a wide range of information about ELF files and other object formats. <code>objdump</code> uses the [[Binary File Descriptor library]] as a back-end to structure the ELF data.
* The Unix <code>[[file (command)|file]]</code> utility can display some information about ELF files, including the [[instruction set architecture]] for which the code in a relocatable, executable, or shared object file is intended, or on which an ELF [[core dump]] was produced.
