What does RELA in ELF spec stand for? REL is obviously for "relocation", but A? I've never seen it mentioned anywhere. Is is for "absolue", "address", "anatidaephobia"?

Ah, yeah. Makes perfect sense. Thanks. EDIT: Now that I've looked into the structure members it's obvious. I think I had a big brainfart. :oops:
