from __future__ import print_function
'''
Helper script to print out the raw content of an ELF section.
Example usages:
```
# print out as bits by default
extract-section.py .text --input-file=foo.o
```
```
# read from stdin and print out in hex
cat foo.o | extract-section.py -h .text
```
This is merely a wrapper around `llvm-readobj` that focuses on the binary
content as well as providing more formatting options.
