| type | uint16_t | The type of the elf file -> elf_object_type_E |
| isa | uint16_t | The used instruction set -> elf_instruction_set_E |
| version | uint32_t | ELF version |
| address_entry_point | uint64_t | The start point for program execution |
| offset_program_header | uint64_t | The position of the program header array in the file |
| offset_section_header | uint64_t | The position of the section header array in the file |
| flags | uint32_t | Architecture dependent, can be ignored |
| len_header | uint16_t | The size of this header |
| len_program_header_entry | uint16_t | The size of one program header |
| num_program_header_entries | uint16_t | The amount of program headers |
| len_section_header_entry | uint16_t | The size of one section header |
| num_section_header_entries | uint16_t | The amount of section headers |
| string_section_index | uint16_t | The section header index of the `.shstrtab` section |
