get enclave metadata from a signed enclave binary

As I understand, all pages including metadata page such as SEC, TCS, SECINFO, etc are determined even before an enclave is loaded. Those pages have to be stored in the enclave binary, and my question is where exactly. On Linux, there is an elf section called '.note.sgxmeta' in the signed binary. So is this the place where metadata is stored? If so, Is there any document on how to get those metadata from this blob of bytes?

> objdump -sj '.note.sgxmeta' enclave.signed.so


enclave.signed.so:     file format elf64-x86-64

Contents of section .note.sgxmeta:

Check https://github.com/01org/linux-sgx/blob/master/common/inc/internal/metadata.h for the data format (the ELF section is a "note" one). The header is internal, it's subject to change without notice so I wouldn't rely on it in production code. The MRENCLAVE value is in there though and it's probably the only convenient way to get it during build process currently...
