NAME
       pbuildid - print the build id of an ELF executable or core file

SYNOPSIS
       pbuildid [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       pbuildid reads the build id embedded in the process image of a core file or an executable file.

       The  build  id  note is allocated an can be found in the process image by searching for a NOTE segment. In executable files either the NOTE
       segment or the NOTE section can be used.

       If the process image that is contained in the core file is of a dynamically linked  executable,	the  debug  information  provided  by  the
       dynamic linker is used to find and print the build ids of the loaded dynamic shared objects.

OPTIONS
       --kernel
	      Print the build id of the running kernel

       --vdso Also print the build id of the vDSO mapped by the kernel (in core file)

       --help Usage information

       --debug
	      Print debug information about what pbuildid is doing
