/*
* This example shows how to create ELF object file for Linux on x86
*
* Instructions:
* 1. Compile and link this file with ELFIO library
* g++ write_obj.cpp -o writer_obj
* 2. Execute result file write_obj
* ./write_obj
* 3. Link output file hello.o:
* ld -m elf x64 -o hello hello.o
* 4. Run the result file:
* ./hello
