Module pwn::context

The global (to a given thread) context. Used to set global settings which are used internally by several functions.

Examples

use pwn::{context, I386};
use pwn::Bits::ThirtyTwo;
context::set_arch(I386);
assert_eq!(context::get_arch(), I386);
assert_eq!(context::get_bits(), ThirtyTwo)

Warning

context is local to each thread. Context values may need to be re-set when using multi-threaded code.

Structs

Arch

An architecture, identified by its endianness and word size

Context

The current context, used by most functions for runtime behaviour modification

Enums

Bits

The word size of a given Arch

Endianness

The word endianness of a given Arch

Constants

The 64-bit version of x86

I386

The 32-bit version of x86

Functions
