The section name of Rel and Rela starts with ".rel" and ".rela" respectively (but, I do not know whether this is specification or convention). For example, ".rela.text" holds relocation entries applied to the ".text" section. So, the code chops the ".rel" or ".rela" prefix to get the name of the section to which the relocation applies. However, I do not like to skip 4 or 5 bytes blindly because it is potential memory overrun. The ELF specification provides a more reliable way to do this. - The sh_info field holds extra information, whose interpretation depends on the section type - If the section type is SHT_REL or SHT_RELA, the sh_info field holds the section header index of the section to which the relocation applies.
