 # dynld
 
+This repository contains studies about `process initialization` and `dynamic
+linking` on Linux(x86_64). It is mainly used for personal studies, but may be
+useful to some random internet user.
+
+All studies and discussions assume the following environment:
+- Arch: `x86_64`
+- OS: `Linux Kernel`
+- System ABI: `SystemV x86_64 ABI`
+- BinFMT: `ELF`
+
+The studies are structured as follows:
+1. [Ch 01 dynamic linking](./01_dynamic_linking):
+   Brief introduction to dynamic linking.
+1. [Ch 02 process initialization](./02_process_init):
+   Building a `no-std` executable and exploring the initial process state.
+1. [Ch 03 dynamic linker skeleton](./03_hello_dynld):
+   Building a skeleton for the dynamic linker which can run a `statically
+   linked no-std` executable.
+1. [Ch 04 dynld no-std](./04_dynld_nostd):
+   Building a dynamic linker `dynld` which can initialize the execution
+   environment for a `no-std` executable with a shared library dependency.
