/ ELF::Writer::Segment

NAME

ELF::Writer::Segment - Object representing the fields of one program segment in an ELF file.

VERSION

version 0.000_003

ATTRIBUTES (header fields)

The following are elf program header fields:

type, type_sym

Type of segment: "null" (or undef), "load", "dynamic", "interp", "note", "shlib", or "phdr". Defaults to "load".

offset

Offset of this segment within the elf file

virt_addr

Address where this segment should be memory-mapped

phys_addr

Address where this segment should be loaded

filesize, size

Size of the segment within the elf file

memsize

Size of the segment after loaded into memory

flags

32-bit flags. Use the accessors below to access the defined bits. Defaults to readable and executable.

flag_readable

Read/write the readable bit of flags

flag_writable

Read/write the writable bit of flags

flag_executable

Read/write the executable bit of flags.

align

Page size, for both the file and when loaded into memory (I think?)

ATTRIBUTES (user)

data

The payload of this segment (machine code, or etc)

data_start

Used for auto-aligning segments within the elf file. This is the number of bytes in the file which should come between "offset" and your data. Typical use of this feature is to have the first segment start at offset 0 and include the elf header, with data starting somehwere beyond it. If this is zero (or just less than the size of your elf header) then nearly a whole page will be wasted within the file as it aligns the start of the data to a page boundary.

data_offset

Read-only sum of "offset" and "data_start". This is the file offset at which your data scalar (if provided) will be written to the file.

METHODS

new

Standard Moo constructor. Pass any attributes, including the flag bit aliases.

coerce

  $class->coerce($thing)

Returns $thing if it is an instance of $class, or passes $thing to the constructor otherwise.

clone

Clone this instance.
