Proka Executable - The definition of the proka executable

Introduction

This is the official project of the proka-exec, which contains the definition of the proka's headers, sections, and some utilities to help you parse the proka executable file easily.

Please note that this project is written in Rust, so you can use this crate through crates.io and cargo to use this crate.

Structures of this executable

This executable is structured as follows:

PKE Headers - Records the basic information of this executable;
Section index - Records the section header's offset and section name's length;
Section metadata- Records the section flags, data offset and its length;
Data - The binary content.

We can use this picture to explain their segmented structure:

[Headers] [Section Index] [Section Metadata] [Data]

Also, the [Section Metadata] can be separated as follows:

[Section Headers] [Section Name]

In the picture above, the [Section Headers]'s length is fixed, which is recorded in [SECTION_HDR_SIZE]; The section name is different - It's dynamic, so you can store almost infinite words in it!
