Struct MemoryCursor 

pub struct MemoryCursor<T> { /* private fields */ }

MemoryCursor implments a Cursor around the MemoryView trait.

The cursor provides the Read, Write and Seek traits for the underlying MemoryView object.

Examples:

use std::io::{self, Read, Write, Seek};

use memflow::dummy::{DummyOs, DummyMemory};
use memflow::types::size;
use memflow::mem::{DirectTranslate, VirtualDma, MemoryCursor};
use memflow::architecture::x86::x64;

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    // setup a pseudo virtual memory reader
    let phys_mem = DummyMemory::new(size::mb(16));
    let mut os = DummyOs::new(phys_mem);
    let (dtb, virt_base) = os.alloc_dtb(size::mb(8), &[]);
    let phys_mem = os.into_inner();
    let translator = x64::new_translator(dtb);

    let virt_mem = VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator);

    // create the actual cursor and seek it to the dummy virt_base
    let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(virt_mem);
    cursor.seek(io::SeekFrom::Start(virt_base.to_umem() as u64))?;

    // read up to 10 bytes
    let mut buffer = [0; 10];
    cursor.read(&mut buffer)?;

    // write the previously read 10 bytes again
    cursor.seek(io::SeekFrom::Start(virt_base.to_umem() as u64))?;
    cursor.write(&buffer)?;

    Ok(())
}

Implementations

impl<T: MemoryView> MemoryCursor<T>

pub fn new(mem: T) -> Self

Creates a new MemoryCursor by wrapping around a MemoryView object.

Cursor initial position is 0.

Examples:

Borrowing a MemoryView object:

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;
use memflow::types::size;
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let mut virt_mem = VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator);
let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(virt_mem);

Taking (temporary) ownership of a MemoryView object:

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;
use memflow::types::size;
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let virt_mem = VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator);
let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(virt_mem);

pub fn at(mem: T, address: Address) -> Self

Creates a new MemoryCursor by wrapping around a MemoryView object at the desired starting position.

Cursor initial position is * address.

Examples:

Borrowing a MemoryView object:

use memflow::types::size;
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let mut virt_mem = VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator);
let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::at(virt_mem, 0x1000.into());

Taking (temporary) ownership of a MemoryView object:

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;
use memflow::types::size;
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let virt_mem = VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator);
let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::at(virt_mem, 0x1000.into());

Gets a reference to the underlying MemoryView object in this cursor.

Examples

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;

use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator));

let reference = cursor.get_ref();

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying MemoryView object in this cursor.

Examples

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;
use memflow::types::size;
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator));

let reference = cursor.get_mut();

pub fn address(&self) -> Address

Returns the current address of this cursor.

Examples

use std::io::{Seek, SeekFrom};

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;
use memflow::types::{Address, size};
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator));

assert_eq!(cursor.address(), Address::NULL);

cursor.seek(SeekFrom::Current(2)).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cursor.address(), Address::from(2));

cursor.seek(SeekFrom::Current(-1)).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cursor.address(), Address::from(1));

pub fn set_address(&mut self, address: Address)

Sets the address of this cursor.

Examples

use memflow::dummy::DummyMemory;
use memflow::types::{Address, size};
use memflow::mem::MemoryCursor;

let mut cursor = MemoryCursor::new(VirtualDma::new(phys_mem, x64::ARCH, translator));

assert_eq!(cursor.address(), Address::NULL);

cursor.set_address(Address::from(2));
assert_eq!(cursor.address(), Address::from(2));

cursor.set_address(Address::from(4));
assert_eq!(cursor.address(), Address::from(4));
