NAME
ELF::Writer::Section - Object representing the fields of one section in an ELF file.
VERSION
version 0.011
ATTRIBUTES (header fields)
The following are elf section header fields:
name
Pointer to name of this section within the Strings table. (.shstrtab)
TODO: auto-generate the string table if this is set to anything other than a number.
type, type_sym
Type of this section. A 32-bit number, or one of: "null" (or undef), "progbits", "symtab", "strtab", "rela", "hash", "dynamic", "note", "nobits", "rel", "shlib", "dynsym", "num".
flags
32-bit flags. Use the attributes below to access known flag bits.
flag_write
Read/write accessor for write bit of flags
flag_alloc
Read/write accesor for alloc bit of flags
flag_execinstr
Read/write accessor for execinstr bit of flags
addr
The address in the process's memory where this section gets loaded, or zero if it doesn't.
offset
Location within the ELF file where this section is located.
size
Size (in bytes) of the section within the ELF file. If the type of the section is 'nobits' then this field is ignored and the section does not occupy bytes of the ELF file.
link
Reference to another section, as an index into the section table. Meaning depends on section type.
info
Extra info, depending on section type.
addralign
Required alignment for the "addr" field. Addr must be a multiple of this value. Values 0 and 1 both mean no alignment is required.
entsize
If the section holds a table of fixed-size entries, this is the size of each entry. Set to 0 otherwise.
ATTRIBUTES (user)
data
The data bytes of this section
data_start
Use this attribute to introduce padding between the start of the section and the offset where your 'data' should be written. This is mainly of use for segments, but provided on sections for symmetry.
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 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.
