    • getRelocations

      public List<RelocationInfo> getRelocations()

    • isRead

      public boolean isRead()
      Returns true if this section has READ permission.

      NOTE: On a real system, sections don't have their own permissions, only the segments they live in do. However, Ghidra needs finer-grained control for analysis to work correctly, so we take control over section permissions to fit our needs.

      Returns:
      true if this section has READ permission

    • isWrite

      public boolean isWrite()
      Returns true if this section has WRITE permission.

      NOTE: On a real system, sections don't have their own permissions, only the segments they live in do. However, Ghidra needs finer-grained control for analysis to work correctly, so we take control over section permissions to fit our needs.

      Returns:
      true if this section has WRITE permission

    • isExecute

      public boolean isExecute()
      Returns true if this section has EXECUTE permission.

      NOTE: On a real system, sections don't have their own permissions, only the segments they live in do. However, Ghidra needs finer-grained control for analysis to work correctly, so we take control over section permissions to fit our needs.

      Returns:

    • toDataType

      public DataType toDataType() throws DuplicateNameException, IOException
      Description copied from interface: StructConverter
      Returns a structure datatype representing the contents of the implementor of this interface.

      For example, given: 

       class A {
     int foo;
     double bar;
 }

      The return value should be a structure data type with two data type components; an INT and a DOUBLE. The structure should contain field names and, if possible, field comments.

      Specified by:
      toDataType in interface StructConverter
      Returns:
      returns a structure datatype representing the implementor of this interface
      Throws:
      DuplicateNameException - when a datatype of the same name already exists
      IOException - if an IO-related error occurs
