Crate read_process_memory

Read memory from another process’ address space.

This crate provides a trait—CopyAddress, and a helper function—copy_address that allow reading memory from another process.

Note: you may not always have permission to read memory from another process! This may require sudo on some systems, and may fail even with sudo on macOS. You are most likely to succeed if you are attempting to read a process that you have spawned yourself.

Examples

use read_process_memory::*;

let handle: ProcessHandle = pid.try_into()?;
let bytes = copy_address(address, size, &handle)?;

Structs
