Support for the use case: `zig objcopy --strip-all program stripped --extract-to stripped.dbg` to separate the debug & symbols sections out to a companion file, with a corresponding a .gnu_debuglink. note: this is "a minimal effort implementation" It doesn't support all possibile elf files: there may be some sections type that need fixups, the program header may need fix up, ... It was written for a specific use case (strip debug info to a sperate file, for linux 64-bits executables built with `zig` or `zig c++` ) It doesn't support 32-bit files, or file with non-native endianess.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
