The readelf man page needs to be updated to mention the new option.

The brace should be on a separate line.

6953 ↗(On Diff #78613)

buf needs to be freed after we're done with it, but only if it's not equal to d->d_buf.

7673 ↗(On Diff #78613)

-z needs to be documented in this usage string.

Since buf pointer keeps moving I added a pointer to newly allocated decompressed buffer.
If it's not null, we set buf = new_buf and free it after a section is processed.

contrib/elftoolchain/readelf/readelf.c
6841 ↗(On Diff #78654)

we can use bool and return true / false

6843–6847 ↗(On Diff #78654)

FreeBSD style(9) wants doesn't use this style; should be

/*
 * Decompress a data section if needed (using ZLIB).
 * Returns 0 if sucessful, 1 otherwise.
 */
static int decompress_section(struct section *s, 
    unsigned char *compressed_data_buffer, uint64_t compressed_size, 
    unsigned char **ret_buf, uint64_t *ret_sz)
{
6851–6853 ↗(On Diff #78654)

these should be indented by 1/2 tabs

6892–6894 ↗(On Diff #78654)

{} are not required for single-statement bodies. They are permitted but need to be consistent throughout and they're not used elsewhere

Shouldn't it be Fl z | Fl -decompress?

164 ↗(On Diff #78781)

"specified by .Fl x or .Fl p"

new_buf is uninitialized if (re->options & RE_Z) == 0.

Fixed by setting new_buf to NULL every loop.

6886 ↗(On Diff #78816)

The indentation is wonky.

6906 ↗(On Diff #78816)

Please avoid indenting goto labels.

6981 ↗(On Diff #78816)

free(NULL) is fine, there's no need to check for NULL.

7046 ↗(On Diff #78816)

Ditto.
