pax-utils is a small set of utilities for performing Q/A (mostly security)
checks on systems (most notably, `scanelf`). It is focused on the ELF
format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for macOS systems.
While heavily integrated into Gentoo's build system, it can be used on any
distro as it is a generic toolset.
Originally focused only on [PaX](https://pax.grsecurity.net/), it has been
expanded to be generally security focused. It still has a good number of
PaX helpers for people interested in that.
## Building and installing
pax-utils uses a bog-standard meson-based build system. See `meson_options.txt`
for configuration options.
You don't need PaX to use the pax-utils. In fact the only thing they
really have in common is that pax-utils was initially written to aid in
deploying PaX systems so it includes support for PT_PAX_FLAGS and the
deprecated but still in use EI_PAX flags. For more information about PaX
see the homepage at https://pax.grsecurity.net/
