Hi Guys,

  Perhaps what we need is a new command line option.  eg:

    --silent

  Which will make readelf just return an exit status, with non-zero meaning
that the requested information could not be found.  This would apply to dumping
sections, notes, etc, not just debug information.

  Or:

    --error-if-missing

  which would make readelf complain (with an error message and an exit status)
if the requested information could not be displayed.

Cheers
  Nick
