`packelf` was inspired by [the idea of Klaus D](https://askubuntu.com/a/546305). It is used to pack a ELF program and its dependent libraries into a single executable file. `packelf` was inspired by [the idea of Klaus D](https://askubuntu.com/a/546305).

Usage: ./packelf.sh [-zjJn] <ELF_SRC_PATH> <DST_PATH> [ADDITIONAL_LIBS ...] Usage: ./packelf.sh <ELF_SRC_PATH> <DST_PATH> [ADDITIONAL_LIBS]
-zjJ compress flag passed to tar, '-z' by default
-n pack without compress

However, every time the packed program is executed, an internal unpacking operation is performed automatically, which results in a slower startup of the program.
If you need to execute the program many times and want to reduce the startup time, you can unpack the program before executing it. ## USAGE EXTRA TOOLS:

You can run '/usr/local/bin/ls ARGS...' to execute the command.
# ls and ls.res are generated after unpacking.
