"""Pretty-print the structure of an ELF binary.
Equivalent to ``readelf`` with a selection of the most useful flags
(``-h``, ``-S``, ``-l``, ``-d``, ``-s``, ``-r``, ``-V`` ...). The
target file is parsed with ``lief.ELF.parse`` and the requested
sections are rendered as formatted tables.
Example:
$ python elf_reader.py -a /bin/ls
