image: executable file format introspection

This module implements functionality for examining executable files. It provides some support code for working with memory-mapped ELF executables.

This module does not make compatibility guarantees and is subject to change in the future should Hare be ported to a target with a different executable format.

Functions

fn close[permalink] [source]

fn close(image: *image) void;

Closes a program image.

fn open[permalink] [source]

fn open(file: io::file) (image | io::error);

Opens an io::file as a program image.

fn section_byname[permalink] [source]

fn section_byname(image: *image, name: str) nullable *elf::section64;

Returns a program section by name. Returns null if there is no such section, or if the section names are not available in this image (e.g. because it was stripped).

fn section_data[permalink] [source]

fn section_data(image: *image, sec: *elf::section64) []u8;

Returns a slice of the data contained with a given section.

fn section_name[permalink] [source]

fn section_name(image: *image, sec: *elf::section64) str;

Returns the name of this elf::section64, returning "" if the section names are not available in this image (i.e. it has been stripped).

fn section_reader[permalink] [source]

fn section_reader(image: *image, sec: *elf::section64) memio::stream;

Returns a memio::fixed reader for the given section.

fn self[permalink] [source]

fn self() (image | io::error | fs::error);

Opens the executing process's binary image.
