# Interface: com.pnfsoftware.jeb.core.units.codeobject.IELFSymbolProcessorFactory

ELF symbol processor factories can be registered using the [ELFPluginsService](ELFPluginsService). 

 Life\-cycle information: factories are single\-instance objects that create [symbol processors](IELFSymbolProcessor).
