38  .Sh DESCRIPTION
39  Function
40  .Fn elf_fill
41  allows an application to specify a fill value for the padding inserted
42  between two sections of an ELF file to meet section alignment
43  constraints.
44  By default the ELF library uses zero bytes for padding.
45  .Pp
46  The ELF library will only pad bytes if the
47  .Dv ELF_F_LAYOUT
48  flag is not set for the ELF file.
