# Why ?

As an attempt to provide similar functionality as Vector CanApe does.
But only **ONE** instance of CanApe can be running at the computer and
trying to load different ELF file to inspect variables is a pain and
can easily result in broken project, workflow or headache.


# Usage

```bash
usage: main.py [-h] [--include-file-name] [--version] [file]

Expands symbols (global variables) types.

positional arguments:
  file                 ELF file to try to extract symbols

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --include-file-name  Display filename at the beginning
  --version            show program's version number and exit

Data displayed by this script are informative only!
```
