+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; This file was taken from the Guile 2.1 branch, where it is known as
+;;; (system vm elf), and renamed to (guix elf).  It will be unneeded when Guix
+;;; switches to Guile 2.1/2.2.
+;;;
+;;; A module to read and write Executable and Linking Format (ELF)
+;;; files.
+;;;
+;;; This module exports a number of record types that represent the
+;;; various parts that make up ELF files.  Fundamentally this is the
+;;; main header, the segment headers (program headers), and the section
+;;; headers.  It also exports bindings for symbolic constants and
+;;; utilities to parse and write special kinds of ELF sections.
+;;;
+;;; See elf(5) for more information on ELF.
