elf_executable_T - struct
This struct holds the parsed data of an ELF executable.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| header | elf_header_T | The header of the elf file |
| num_symbols | uint64_t | The size of symbols |
| symbols | symbol_T* | An array containing all symbols of the elf file |
| num_mappings | uint64_t | The size of mappings |
| mappings | elf_mapping_T* | An array containing the mappings needed to load the elf file |
| string_table | void* | A copy of the elf files .strtab section, all strings are referenced here to have them available even if the elf file is closed |
elf_executable_temp_T - struct
This struct is used while generating an elf_executable_T. It holds parse-time information about the elf file.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| executable | elf_executable_T* | A pointer to the final elf_executable_T |
| symbol_table | elf_section_T* | A pointer to .symtab in buffer |
| section_header_string_table | elf_section_T* | A pointer to .shstrtab in buffer |
| buffer | uint8_t* | The buffer where the executable is loaded from |
elf_executable_create(buffer) - function (elf_executable_T*)
Generates an elf_executable_T from an elf file loaded to buffer and returns a pointer to it.
elf_executable_destruct(executable) - function (void)
Frees all memory allocated for executable.
