Crate elf_parser_rs 

elf_parser_rs

A lightweight ELF parser written in Rust, providing assistance for loading applications into the kernel.

It reads the data of the ELF file, and generates Sections, Relocations, Segments and so on.

It also generate a layout of the user stack according to the given user parameters and environment variables,which will be used for loading a given application into the physical memory of the kernel.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeMap;
use elf_parser_rs::{AuxvEntry, AuxvType};
let args: Vec<String> = vec!["arg1".to_string(), "arg2".to_string(), "arg3".to_string()];
let envs: Vec<String> = vec!["LOG=file".to_string()];
let mut auxv: [AuxvEntry; 17] = [
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::PHDR, 0x1000),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::PHENT, 1024),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::PHNUM, 10),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::PAGESZ, 0x1000),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::BASE, 0),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::FLAGS, 0),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::ENTRY, 0x1000),
    AuxvEntry::new(AuxvType::HWCAP, 0),
