## Goal

This project aims to offer a more light weight and easier to use alternative to 
fully featured binary parsing libraries when it comes to parsing the PE32+ file format. It does so by:

- Taking a zero-copy approach. Everything is a reference to the original data
- Parsing on demand. Basic parsing is done at the beginning, the rest is opt-in
- Not focusing on endianness. The parsed buffer is assumed to be in LE
- Strongly validating native structures according to the [official specification]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format
- Having no external dependencies on top of being a `no-std` library

## Usage

Example of printing the RVA's and names of imported symbols:

```rust
use peview::{dir::Import, file::PeView};
use std::{error::Error, fs::File, io::Read};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Read file into buffer and parse it
    let mut buf = Vec::new();
    File::open("etc/exe/ntoskrnl.exe")?.read_to_end(&mut buf)?;
    let pe = PeView::parse(&buf)?;

    // Iterate over modules in the import table
    for m in pe.imports()? {
        // Print the current modules name
        let module = m?;
        println!("{}", module.name()?);

        // Iterate over symbols within the module
        for i in module {
            // Check if the symbol is imported by name
            if let Import::Name(h, n) = i? {
                // Print out both the hint and its name
                println!("> {:#04x}: {}", h, n);
            }
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}
```
