Detailed Description

ELF64 Section Header.

See also: https://gabi.xinuos.com/elf/03-sheader.html

Stored in the section header table, which is located at the file offset e_shoff and contains e_shnum entries where each entry is e_shentsize bytes long.

Each section header describes a section in the ELF file, for example the .text or .data sections.
