## security-check.py
Perform basic ELF security checks on a series of executables.
## symbol-check.py
A script to check that the (Linux) executables produced by gitian only contain
allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols. This makes sure they are
still compatible with the minimum supported Linux distribution versions.
Example usage after a gitian build:
find ../gitian-builder/build -type f -executable | xargs python util/symbol-check.py
If only supported symbols are used the return value will be 0 and the output will be empty.
If there are 'unsupported' symbols, the return value will be 1 a list like this will be printed:
.../64/test_bitcoin: symbol memcpy from unsupported version GLIBC_2.14
.../64/test_bitcoin: symbol __fdelt_chk from unsupported version GLIBC_2.15
.../64/test_bitcoin: symbol std::out_of_range::~out_of_range() from unsupported version GLIBCXX_3.4.15
.../64/test_bitcoin: symbol _ZNSt8__detail15_List_nod from unsupported version GLIBCXX_3.4.15

or in releasing a new version of Hush.
## Utilities
Utilities in this directory:
checkpoints.pl - generate checkpoint data for chainparams.cpp
## checkpoints.pl
Generate checkpoint data for chainparams.cpp . This automates the creation of
block heights and block hashes by asking hushd for the data and then generating
the C++ code needed to embed them in the Hush source code.
