Struct HeaderIdent

#[repr(C)]
pub struct HeaderIdent {
    pub magic: [u8; 4],
    pub class: FileClass,
    pub endianness: Endianness,
    pub header_version: u8,
    pub os_abi: OSABI,
    pub os_abi_version: u8,
    /* private fields */
}

Initial header which has the same layout in all ELF variants and determines how to interpret the rest of the file (endianness, sizes).

Fields

magic: [u8; 4]

Magic number that identifies this as an ELF file.

class: FileClass

Specifies the address size (32- or 64-bit) of the file.

endianness: Endianness

Specifies whether the file uses big or little endian byte ordering.

header_version: u8

Version of the ELF header.

os_abi: OSABI

Operating-system-specific ABI extensions that this file uses.

os_abi_version: u8

Backwards-incompatible version number of the os_abi extensions that this file uses.

Implementations

impl HeaderIdent

pub const MAGIC: [u8; 4]

Expected value of the magic field.

pub const VERSION: u8 = 1u8

Expected value of the header_version field.

pub fn verify_format(&self)

Checks that the header represents a valid ELF file, of any variant, and panics otherwise.

Panics

Panics when the header is not valid.

pub fn verify_native(&self)

Checks that the header represents an ELF file in the native endianness and address size, and panics otherwise.

Panics

Panics when the header is not valid for the current platform.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for HeaderIdent

fn clone(&self) -> HeaderIdent

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for HeaderIdent

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for HeaderIdent

fn default() -> HeaderIdent

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl PartialEq for HeaderIdent

fn eq(&self, other: &HeaderIdent) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
