Constructor Details

ElfLoader

public ElfLoader()

Method Details

getElfOriginalImageBase

public static Long getElfOriginalImageBase(Program program)

Getter for the ELF_ORIGINAL_IMAGE_BASE_PROPERTY property.

Parameters:

program - Ghidra program that has the property to get

Returns:

Long value of the original image base, or null if the property is not present

getDefaultOptions

public List<Option> getDefaultOptions(ByteProvider provider,
 LoadSpec loadSpec,
 DomainObject domainObject,
 boolean loadIntoProgram,
 boolean mirrorFsLayout)

Description copied from interface: Loader

Gets the default Loader options.

Specified by:

getDefaultOptions in interface Loader

Overrides:

getDefaultOptions in class AbstractLibrarySupportLoader

Parameters:

provider - The bytes of the thing being loaded.

loadSpec - The LoadSpec.

domainObject - The DomainObject being loaded.

loadIntoProgram - True if the load is adding to an existing DomainObject; otherwise, false.

mirrorFsLayout - True if the filesystem layout should be mirrored when loading; otherwise, false

Returns:

A list of the Loader's default options.

validateOptions

public String validateOptions(ByteProvider provider,
 LoadSpec loadSpec,
 List<Option> options,
 Program program)

Description copied from interface: Loader

Validates the Loader's options and returns null if all options are valid; otherwise, an error message describing the problem is returned.

Specified by:

validateOptions in interface Loader

Overrides:

validateOptions in class AbstractLibrarySupportLoader

Parameters:

provider - The bytes of the thing being loaded.

loadSpec - The proposed LoadSpec.

options - The list of Options to validate.

program - existing program if the loader is adding to an existing program. If it is a fresh import, then this will be null.

Returns:

null if all Options are valid; otherwise, an error message describing the problem is returned.

findSupportedLoadSpecs

public Collection<LoadSpec> findSupportedLoadSpecs(ByteProvider provider)
                                            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Loader

If this Loader supports loading the given ByteProvider, this methods returns a Collection of all supported LoadSpecs that contain discovered load specification information that this Loader will need to load. If this Loader cannot support loading the given ByteProvider, an empty Collection is returned.

Parameters:

provider - The bytes being loaded.

Returns:

A Collection of LoadSpecs that this Loader supports loading, or an empty Collection if this Loader doesn't support loading the given ByteProvider.

Throws:

IOException - if there was an IO-related issue finding the LoadSpecs.

load

public void load(Program program,
 Loader.ImporterSettings settings)
          throws IOException,
CancelledException

Description copied from class: AbstractLibrarySupportLoader

Loads bytes in a particular format into the given Program.

Specified by:

load in class AbstractLibrarySupportLoader

Parameters:

program - The Program to load into.

settings - The Loader.ImporterSettings

Throws:

IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.

CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.

postLoadProgramFixups

protected void postLoadProgramFixups(List<Loaded<Program>> loadedPrograms,
 Loader.ImporterSettings settings)
                              throws CancelledException,
IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractLibrarySupportLoader

This gets called after the given list of loaded programss is finished loading. It provides subclasses an opportunity to do follow-on actions to the load.

Fix up program's external library entries so that they point to a path in the project.

Overrides:

postLoadProgramFixups in class AbstractLibrarySupportLoader

Parameters:

loadedPrograms - The loaded programs to be fixed up.

settings - The Loader.ImporterSettings.

Throws:

CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.

IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Loader

Gets the Loader's name, which is used both for display purposes, and to identify the Loader in the opinion files.

Returns:

The Loader's name.
