# Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI Specification
This repository hold the source for the Power Architecture 64-bit ELF Version 2 
ABI specification for the OpenPOWER Foundation. The PDF and HTML generated from the specification/ 
directory build a document that describe the ABI used by Linux on Power systems when
running in little endian mode.

To build this project, one must ensure that the Docs-Master project has
also been cloned at the same directory level as the ELFv2-ABI project.
This can be accomplished with the following steps:

1. Clone the master documentation project (Docs-Master) using the following command:

  ```
  $ git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Master.git
  ```
  
2. Clone this project (ELFv2-ABI) using the following command:

  ```
  $ git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/ELFv2-ABI.git
  ```
  
3. Build the project with these commands:
  ```
  $ cd ELFv2-ABI
  $ mvn clean generate-sources
  ```

The online version of the document can be found in the OpenPOWER Foundation
Document library at [64-Bit ELF V2 ABI Specification](https://openpowerfoundation.org/?resource_lib=64-bit-elf-v2-abi-specification-power-architecture).

The project which control the look and feel of the document is the 
[Docs-Maven-Plugin project](https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Maven-Plugin).
