object

The object crate provides a unified interface to working with object files across platforms. It supports reading object files and executable files, and writing object files.

For reading files, it provides multiple levels of support:

• raw struct definitions suitable for zero copy access
• low level APIs for accessing the raw structs
• a higher level unified API for accessing common features of object files, such as sections and symbols

Supported file formats: ELF, Mach-O, Windows PE/COFF, Wasm, and Unix archive.

Example for unified read API

```rust use object::{Object, ObjectSection}; use std::error::Error; use std::fs;

/// Reads a file and displays the content of the ".boot" section. fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let bindata = fs::read("./multiboot2-binary.elf")?; let objfile = object::File::parse(&*bindata)?; if let Some(section) = objfile.sectionbyname(".boot") { println!("{:#x?}", section.data()?); } else { eprintln!("section not available"); } Ok(()) } ```
