# ELF Build ID Extractor
This project provides a Go package for extracting the build ID from ELF binaries on Linux systems.
## Description
The `buildid` package allows you to retrieve the build ID from an ELF binary file. It supports extracting the build ID using the following methods:
1. Reading the `.note.go.buildid` section for Go binaries.
2. Reading the `.note.gnu.build-id` section for binaries with GNU build ID.
3. Hashing the `.text` section if no build ID is found.
## Usage
```go
import "github.com/offlinehacker/buildid"
buildID, err := buildid.FromPath("path/to/binary")
if err != nil {
// Handle the error
}
fmt.Println("Build ID:", buildID)
```
## Platform Support
Please note that this package is intended for use on Linux systems only, as it relies on the ELF binary format.
