# [Relocations](<https://lief.re/doc/latest/plugins/binaryninja/analyzers/elf/relocations/index.html#relocations>)

This analyzer enhances support for binaries that use recent relocation formats not recognized by BinaryNinja (e.g., `DT_ANDROID_RELA`, `DT_RELR`).

For instance, here is LIEF-based processing of `DT_ANDROID_RELA` relocations:
