# 5. Further information

- The `linux-gcc` mailing list is really the best place to see what's happening, usually without even posting to it. Remember, it's not Usenet, so keep the questions down unless you're actually developing. For instructions on joining the mailing list, mail a message containing the word `help` to `majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu`. Archives of the list are at http://homer.ncm.com/ .
- There's a certain amount of information about what the linux-gcc list is doing at my ELF web page , when I remember to update it. This also has a link to the latest version of this HOWTO, and the patches it refers to. For US people and others with poor links to UK academic sites (that's nearly everyone outside of UK academia), this is all mirrored at http://www.blackdown.org/elf/elf.html
- See also Bobby Shmit's ELF upgrade experience web page.
- The GCC-FAQ contains much general development information and some more technical ELF details.
- There's also documentation for the file format on tsx-11 . This is probably of most use to people who want to understand, debug or rewrite programs that deal directly with binary objects.
- H J Lu's document ELF: From The Programmer's Perspective contains much useful and more detailed information on programming with ELF. If you aren't LaTeX-capable, it is also available as PostScript.
- There is a manual page for `dlopen(3)` supplied with the `ld.so` package.
