ELFIO

ELFIO is a Rust library intended for reading and generating files in the ELF binary format. The library supports processing of ELF files for 32- and 64-bit architectures regardless of their endianess

ELFIO is a Rust language port of the corresponding C++ library also called ELFIO

Status

Work in progress. Only ELF file reader is implemented so far. Your contribution is welcomed!

lib.rs:

'elfio' is a Rust library intended for reading and generation files in the ELF binary format. The library supports processing of ELF files for 32- and 64-bit architectures regardless of their endianess

For example:

use std::fs::File;
use std::io;
use std::io::BufReader;

use elfio::Elfio;

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    let elf_file = File::open("tests/files/hello_64")?;
    let mut file_reader = BufReader::new(elf_file);

    let mut elf = elfio::Elfio::new();

    elf.load(&mut file_reader)?;

    match elf.get_type() {
        elfio::constant::ET_REL => println!("Object ELF file"),
        elfio::constant::ET_EXEC => println!("Executable ELF file"),
        elfio::constant::ET_DYN => println!("Shared library ELF file"),
        elfio::constant::ET_CORE => println!("Core ELF file"),
        _ => println!("ELF type is not recognized"),
    }

    Ok(())
