+\&\fBrevdep-pax\fR finds mismatching PaX markings between an \s-1ELF\s0 object and the
+libraries that object dynamically links against. When executing an \s-1ELF\s0 binary
+that links against libraries, the PaX hardened kernel ignores the library
+markings and uses the executable markings for enforcing PaX restrictions.
+It is desireable in some circumstances to migrate back the library markings
+to the binaries.
+.PP
+revdep-pax can do its work by either starting from the object and mapping
+forwards to its libraries, or by starting from a library and mapping
+backwards to all the objects that link against it. The library can either
+be specified by the \s-1SONAME\s0 as it is reported by \fBldd\fR(1), or by the full
+path to the \s-1LIBRARY\s0 file. Symbolic links are dereferenced. The user can
+optionally scan for all forward mappings on the system (\-f), for all reverse
+mappings (\-r), for forward mappings of just one \s-1OBJECT\s0 (\-b), for reverse
+mappings of just one \s-1SONAME\s0 (\-s) or one \s-1LIBRARY\s0 (\-l). In verbose mode (\-v),
+all mappings are reported, not just mismatching ones, and in mark mode (\-m),
+the user is prompted whether to proceed with marking the found object so
+its PaX flags match its source.
