Module pef 

Preferred Executable Format (PEF) parsing helpers for PowerPC CFM apps.

This module intentionally stays pure: it parses container metadata, materializes initialized section bytes, and resolves the main transition vector. Relocation application, CFM import binding, and PPC execution are separate loader phases.

Structs

PefEntryPoint

Main PowerPC transition vector resolved from the loader header.

PefExportedSymbol

One symbol exported by a PEF container.

PefExportedSymbolHashSlot

One 4-byte export hash-table slot.

PefExportedSymbolKey

One 4-byte export hash key.

PefHeader

Parsed 40-byte PEF container header.

PefImportedLibrary

One 24-byte imported-library table entry from the loader section.

PefImportedSymbol

One packed 4-byte imported-symbol table entry.

PefInstantiatedSection

Runtime bytes for one instantiated PEF section.

PefLoaderHeader

Parsed 56-byte loader-section header.

PefRelocContext

Inputs for applying relocation instructions to one instantiated section.

PefRelocFailure

Relocation failure with the interpreter state needed for loader diagnostics.

PefRelocHeader

One 12-byte relocation-header table entry from the loader section.

PefResolvedImport

Name-resolved import table row, preserving the original symbol index.

PefSection

One entry from the PEF section header table.

Enums

PefRelocApplyError

Reasons the relocation interpreter may refuse a chunk stream.

PefRelocDecodeError

Decode failure for one relocation instruction.

PefRelocOp

One decoded PEF relocation instruction.
