Please post what command you typed in.
And, if you need to adapt the solution to read from standard output of another command, simply place the command after the required pipe (after dropping the filename).

GELF_GETREL(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					    GELF_GETREL(3)

NAME
gelf_getrel, gelf_update_rel -- read and update ELF relocation entries LIBRARY
ELF Access Library (libelf, -lelf) SYNOPSIS
#include <gelf.h> GElf_Rel * gelf_getrel(Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Rel *rel); int gelf_update_rel(Elf_Data *data, int ndx, GElf_Rel *rel); DESCRIPTION
These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent Elf32_Rel or Elf64_Rel structures in an ELF object. Argument data is an Elf_Data descriptor associated with a section of type SHT_REL. Argument ndx is the index of the entry being retrieved or updated. The class-independent GElf_Rel structure is described in gelf(3). Function gelf_getrel() retrieves the class-dependent entry at index ndx in data buffer data and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument rel after translation to class-independent form. Function gelf_update_rel() converts the class-independent entry pointed to by argument rel to class-dependent form, and writes it to the entry at index ndx in the data buffer described by argument data. Function gelf_update_rel() signals an error if any of the values in the class-independent representation exceeds the representable limits of the target type. RETURN VALUES
Function gelf_getrel() returns the value of argument rel if successful, or NULL in case of an error. Function gelf_update_rel() returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error. ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors: [ELF_E_ARGUMENT] Arguments data or rel were NULL. [ELF_E_ARGUMENT] Argument ndx was less than zero or larger than the number of entries in the data descriptor. [ELF_E_ARGUMENT] Data descriptor data was not associated with a section of type SHT_REL. [ELF_E_RANGE] A value was not representable in the target type. SEE ALSO
