+Don't break output lines to fit into 80 columns. By default
+@command{readelf} breaks section header and segment listing lines for
+64-bit ELF files, so that they fit into 80 columns. This option causes
+@command{readelf} to print each section header resp. each segment one a
+single line, which is far more readable on terminals wider than 80 columns.
