ELF::Extract::Sections::Scanner::Objdump - An objdump based section scanner.

version 0.02071411

This module is a model implementation of a Naive and system reliant ELF Section detector. Its currently highly inefficient due to having to run the entire ELF through a disassembly process to determine the section positions and only guesses at section lengths by advertising that it can't compute sizes.

TO use this module, simply initialise ELF::Extract::Sections as so

    my $extractor  = ELF::Extract::Sections->new(
            file => "/path/to/file.so" ,
            scanner => "Objdump",
    );

ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

Lots of keywords.

MooseX::Has::Sugar

Type Constraining Keywords.

MooseX::Types::Moose

File Type Constraints w/ Path::Class

MooseX::Types::Path::Class

Opens the file and assigns our state to that file.

open_file in ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

Advances our state to the next section.

next_section in ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

Reports the offset of the currently open section

section_offset in ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

Dies, because this module can't compute section sizes.

section_size in ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

Returns the name of the current section

section_name in ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

Returns false

can_compute_size in ELF::Extract::Sections::Meta::Scanner

A regular expression for identifying the

  <asdasdead>

Style tokens that denote objdump header names.

Note: This is not XML.

A regular expression for identifying offset blocks in objdump's output.

They look like this:

  File Offset: 0xdeadbeef

A regular expression for extracting Headers and Offsets together

  <headername> File Offset: 0xdeadbeef

A Path::Class::File reference to a file somewhere on a system

A perl FileHandle that points to the output of objdump for _file

Keeps track of what we're doing, and what the next header is to return.

Assembles _header_regex and _offset_regex

_section_header_identifier

Calls the system objdump instance for the currently processing file.
