# ELF/PaX Utilities
| What | How |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| HOMEPAGE | https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/PaX_Utilities |
| GIT | git clone git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/pax-utils.git |
| VIEWVCS | https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/pax-utils.git/ |
| STATUS | [](https://travis-ci.org/gentoo/pax-utils) [](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/gentoo-pax-utils) |
pax-utils is a small set of utilities for peforming Q/A (mostly security)
checks on systems (most notably, `scanelf`). It is focused on the ELF
format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for OS X systems.
While heavily integrated into Gentoo's build system, it can be used on any
distro as it is a generic toolset.
Originally focused only on [PaX](https://pax.grsecurity.net/), it has been
expanded to be generally security focused. It still has a good number of
PaX helpers for people interested in that.
## Building
Just run `make`. This should work on any recent POSIX compliant system.
Note: To rebuild the man-pages, you will need xmlto and the docbook-xml-dtd
packages installed on your system.
## Installation
`make install`
You don't need PaX to use the pax-utils. Infact the only thing they
really have in common is that pax-utils was initially written to aid in
deploying PaX systems so it includes support for PT_PAX_FLAGS and the
deprecated but still in use EI_PAX flags. For more information about PaX
see the homepage at http://pax.grsecurity.net/

If you include pax-utils in your distro, feel free to send an update for this.
