pub const SHF_COMPRESSED: u32 = _; // 2_048u32Expand description
This flag identifies a section containing compressed data. SHF_COMPRESSED applies only to non-allocable sections, and cannot be used in conjunction with SHF_ALLOC. In addition, SHF_COMPRESSED cannot be applied to sections of type SHT_NOBITS.
All relocations to a compressed section specifiy offsets to the uncompressed section data. It is therefore necessary to decompress the section data before relocations can be applied. Each compressed section specifies the algorithm independently. It is permissible for different sections in a given ELF object to employ different compression algorithms.
Compressed sections begin with a compression header structure that identifies the compression algorithm.
