The CTF file or section itself has the following structure:
- +--------+--------+---------+----------+----------+-------+--------+
- | file | type | data | function | variable | data | string |
- | header | labels | objects | info | info | types | table |
- +--------+--------+---------+----------+----------+-------+--------+
+ +--------+--------+---------+----------+--------+----------+...
+ | file | type | data | function | object | function |...
+ | header | labels | objects | info | index | index |...
+ +--------+--------+---------+----------+--------+----------+...
+
+ ...+----------+-------+--------+
+ ...| variable | data | string |
+ ...| info | types | table |
+ +----------+-------+--------+
The file header stores a magic number and version information, encoding
flags, and the byte offset of each of the sections relative to the end of the
For each data object, the type ID (a small integer) is recorded. For each
function, the type ID of the return type and argument types is recorded.
+ For situations in which the order of the symbols in the symtab is not known,
+ a pair of optional indexes follow the data object and function info sections:
+ each of these is an array of strtab indexes, mapped 1:1 to the corresponding
+ data object / function info section, giving each entry in those sections a
+ name so that the linker can correlate them with final symtab entries and
+ reorder them accordingly (dropping the indexes in the process).
+
Variable records (as distinct from data objects) provide a modicum of support
for non-ELF systems, mapping a variable name to a CTF type ID. The variable
- names are sorted into ASCIIbetical order, permitting binary searching.

+ not define how the consumer maps these variable names to addresses or
+ anything else, or indeed what these names represent: they might be names
+ looked up at runtime via dlsym() or names extracted at runtime by a debugger
+ or anything else the consumer likes.
The data types section is a list of variable size records that represent each
type, in order by their ID. The types themselves form a directed graph,
where each node may contain one or more outgoing edges to other type nodes,
- denoted by their ID.

Strings are recorded as a string table ID (0 or 1) and a byte offset into the
string table. String table 0 is the internal CTF string table. String table
