UniLDD - A Portable Object Parsing Library

UniLDD is designed to bring parsing objects to any language (has a C FFI library).

⭐️ Features:

• Detailed information! Some of them are:
  • Name of the OS (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.)
  • File type (Core dump, shared library, executable, etc.)
  • ISA type (X86_64, ARM64, RISC-V, etc.)
  • CPU Subtype¹
  • Name of the linker²
  • Which libraries are linked against
• Parses without loading objects. Therefore, you can even parse shady objects like malwares!³
• Error codes and explanations to make error handling easier.
• A Basic and built-in logger to get real-time information.

Installation

Basically:

• Clone the git repository:

  git clone https://github.com/nix-enthusiast/unildd.git

• Go into the git repository:

  cd unildd

• Compile build with cargo:

Footnotes

1. CPU subtype is a macOS-only feature which tells what kind of CPU model the code is optimized for. ↩

2. It has some caveats. See the wiki (currently work-in-progress) for further details. ↩

3. That doesn't mean I am liable for any damages done by this project and files you parsed. Take your own risk! ↩
