`packelf` was based on then [oufm](https://github.com/oufm/packelf) script, but is simpler and has extra tools. It is used to pack a ELF program and its dependent libraries into a single executable file.
## Usage packelf:
```
Usage: ./packelf.sh <ELF_SRC_PATH> <FILENAME_DST_PATH>
```
Example:
```
$ ./packelf.sh /usr/bin/mpv mpv-x86_64.AppRun
```
Note: Every time the packed program is executed, an internal unpacking operation is performed automatically, which results in a slower startup of the program.
## Extract without running:
You can extract the files of a created package without executing it with the following command:
```
$ ./<package> --packelf-extract
```
## Usage packelf-copylibs:
```
Usage: ./packelf-copylibs.sh <ELF_SRC_PATH> <PATH_TO_COPY_LIBRARIES>
```
Example:
```
$ ./packelf-copylibs.sh /usr/bin/mpv /opt/mpv-libs/
```
## Usage packelf-folder:
```
Usage: ./packelf-folder.sh <FOLDER> <FILENAME> <EXECUTABLE_RUN>
```
Example:
```
$ ./packelf-folder.sh /opt/mpv-package mpv-x86_64.AppRun AppRun
```
## Dependencies
* sh
* tar
* sed
* grep
* chmod
* ldd (only needed for packing, not needed for executing or unpacking)
