C · updated Nov 2025

A simple C program to demonstrate Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) without databases or web servers.

A zero-star, single-file C project whose README and whose repo description describe two completely different things: the description says it's an RBAC demo, the README describes an ELF dependency mapper that parses DT_NEEDED entries via mmap. Given the directory tree only shows README.md and file.c, this looks like a template or AI-generated README slapped onto an unrelated or empty project — not something to trust as-is.

If the README is actually accurate, parsing ELF program headers directly instead of shelling out to ldd is a reasonable idea (avoids executing untrusted binaries), and handling both 32-bit and 64-bit ELF formats is a sensible scope. Using mmap() for the binary read is a fine technical choice for this kind of tool.

The description and README don't match at all, which means either the README was copy-pasted from a different project or generated without checking it against what's actually in the repo — a real red flag on code quality and maintainer attention. There's no actual code shown beyond a filename (file.c), no license, no tests, and zero stars/forks with nothing to indicate this has been used or reviewed by anyone. Not worth featuring; too small and too inconsistent to evaluate as real, working software.
