[kwlug disc.] how to list *just* executable sections with objdump?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  is there an incantation of "objdump" that will let me list just the
headers for the executable sections of an ELF executable?

  if i want to see all of the headers, i can use:

  $ objdump -h helloworld

  if i want to display the contents of all the executable sections, i
can use:

  $ objdump -d helloworld

but is there an intermediate step where i can get a list of those
sections that are considered "executable" that would be dumped by that
last command?  thanks.
