Perhaps I should clarify.
Assume that I don't have the source code - I can't compile extra info into the executable. I only have the binary.
There are various sections in the ELF headers - and after some research I thought that the best place to append strings would be the string tables. But, I'm not sure if it's possible to edit the binary - tho there is a tool called
elfedit, written by a sun dev, which does exactly this (well, he modifies the runtime paths), but I can't find its source code. So - I'm assuming this behaviour is exposed in the API via libelf.

This is not exactly relevant to Linux kernel but I'm gonna ask any way.
Is there any way I can modify a 64-bit ELF object file to make it look like 32-bit ELF object file and link it (using `ld`) with 32-bit ELF file?
I tried libelf but was unsuccessful. I had this pretty link... (1 Reply)

uri::url
URI::URL(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation URI::URL(3pm)
NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators
SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base);
$u2 = $u1->abs;
DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to
be distributed with the libwww-perl library.
The following differences exist compared to the "URI" class interface:
o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface.
o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclass of "URI::WithBase".
o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs.
o URI::URL::strict(1)
o $url->print_on method
o $url->crack method
o $url->full_path: same as ($uri->abs_path || "/")
o $url->netloc: same as $uri->authority
o $url->epath, $url->equery: same as $uri->path, $uri->query
o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings.
o $url->path_components: same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters)
o $url->params and $url->eparams methods
o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->frag: same as $uri->fragment
o $url->keywords: same as $uri->query_keywords
o $url->localpath and friends map to $uri->file.
o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr: same as $uri->to for mailto URI
o $url->groupart method for news URI
o $url->article: same as $uri->message
