elf-0.24: Parser for ELF object format.

Data.Elf

Description

Data.Elf is a module for parsing a ByteString of an ELF file into an Elf record.

Synopsis

Documentation

parseElf :: ByteString -> ElfSource

Parses a ByteString into an Elf record. Parse failures call error. 32-bit ELF objects have their fields promoted to 64-bit so that the 32- and 64-bit ELF records can be the same.

parseSymbolTables :: Elf -> [[ElfSymbolTableEntry]]Source

Parse the symbol table section into a list of symbol table entries. If no symbol table is found then an empty list is returned. This function does not consult flags to look for SHT_STRTAB (when naming symbols), it just looks for particular sections of .strtab and .shstrtab.

findSymbolDefinition :: ElfSymbolTableEntry -> Maybe ByteStringSource

Use the symbol offset and size to extract its definition (in the form of a ByteString). If the size is zero, or the offset larger than the elfSectionData, then Nothing is returned.

data ElfSymbolTableEntry Source

The symbol table entries consist of index information to be read from other parts of the ELF file. Some of this information is automatically retrieved for your convenience (including symbol name, description of the enclosing section, and definition).
