The kind of a section.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Unknown

The section kind is unknown.

Text

An executable code section.

Example ELF sections: .text

Example Mach-O sections: __TEXT/__text

Data

A data section.

Example ELF sections: .data

Example Mach-O sections: __DATA/__data

ReadOnlyData

A read only data section.

Example ELF sections: .rodata

Example Mach-O sections: __TEXT/__const, __DATA/__const, __TEXT/__literal4

ReadOnlyDataWithRel

A read only data section with relocations.

This is the same as either Data or ReadOnlyData, depending on the file format. This value is only used in the API for writing files. It is never returned when reading files.

ReadOnlyString

A loadable string section.

Example ELF sections: .rodata.str

Example Mach-O sections: __TEXT/__cstring

UninitializedData

An uninitialized data section.

Example ELF sections: .bss

Example Mach-O sections: __DATA/__bss

Common

An uninitialized common data section.

Example Mach-O sections: __DATA/__common

Tls

A TLS data section.

Example ELF sections: .tdata

Example Mach-O sections: __DATA/__thread_data

UninitializedTls

An uninitialized TLS data section.

Example ELF sections: .tbss

Example Mach-O sections: __DATA/__thread_bss

TlsVariables

A TLS variables section.

This contains TLS variable structures, rather than the variable initializers.

Example Mach-O sections: __DATA/__thread_vars

OtherString

A non-loadable string section.

Example ELF sections: .comment, .debug_str

Other

Some other non-loadable section.

Example ELF sections: .debug_info

Debug

Debug information.

Example Mach-O sections: __DWARF/__debug_info

Linker

Information for the linker.

Example COFF sections: .drectve

Note

ELF note section.

Metadata

Metadata such as symbols or relocations.

Example ELF sections: .symtab, .strtab, .group

Elf(u32)

Some other ELF section type.

This is the sh_type field in the section header. The meaning may be dependent on the architecture.

Implementations

impl SectionKind

pub fn is_bss(self) -> bool

Return true if this section contains zerofill data.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SectionKind

fn clone(&self) -> SectionKind

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SectionKind

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for SectionKind

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for SectionKind

fn eq(&self, other: &SectionKind) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
