Qu'est-ce qu'un fichier ELF ?
An ELF file is an executable file meant to be used with a Nintendo Wii or Nintendo Wii emulator. It contains a video game or other Wii application. ELF files may contain official Wii applications or homebrew applications.

ELF files are similar to .DOL files, in that they are used to distribute Nintendo Wii games and other applications. However, ELF files contain extraneous debugging information that DOL files do not. For that reason, gamers prefer to distribute Wii applications as DOL files.

An ELF file is a system file saved in the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF). The ELF format is a standard format used for saving executable files, object files, shared libraries, and memory dumps. Unix users are most likely to encounter ELF files.
Plus d'informations
Each ELF file begins with an ELF file header that declares what type of data the ELF file contains. This metadata allows a Unix system to read and execute the file correctly, based on its architecture, expected machine type, and ELF file type.
ELF files typically contain one or more program headers, which tell a Unix system how to execute the program the file contains. ELF files also contain section headers, which list the sections of data the file contains. The actual data the files contain is stored after these headers.
REMARQUE: ELF files used by Linux and other non-macOS Unix systems often do not use the .elf extension. Instead, they are saved without a file extension.
Comment ouvrir un fichier ELF
Many ELF-related Unix utilities allow you to view and examine the data an ELF file contains. For example, you can use elfutils, ELFDump, or readelf to analyze an ELF file.
