# Rust support for reading and writing Program Database (PDB) files
This crate provides the ability to read and write Program Database (PDB) files. PDB files
contain debugging symbols and other information used by debuggers and development tools,
when targeting the Windows operating system.
## All information in this implementation is based on publicly-available information
With the exception of MSFZ, this implementation is based solely on public
sources that describe the PDB and MSF data structures. This repository does not
contain any confidential Microsoft intellectual property.
