# `object`
|
|
|
|
The `object` crate provides a unified interface to working with object files
|
|
across platforms. It supports reading relocatable object files and executable files,
|
|
and writing COFF/ELF/Mach-O/XCOFF relocatable object files and ELF/PE executable 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 ([example](crates/examples/src/readobj/))
|
|
* a higher level unified API for accessing common features of object files, such
|
|
as sections and symbols ([example](crates/examples/src/objdump.rs))
|
|
|
|
Supported file formats: ELF, Mach-O, Windows PE/COFF, Wasm, XCOFF, 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 name of each section.
|
|
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
|
|
let binary_data = fs::read("path/to/binary")?;
|
|
let file = object::File::parse(&*binary_data)?;
|
|
for section in file.sections() {
|
|
println!("{}", section.name()?);
|
|
}
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [`crates/examples`](crates/examples) for more examples.

## Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
|
|
|
|
Changes to MSRV are considered breaking changes. We are conservative about changing the MSRV,
|
|
but sometimes are required to due to dependencies. The MSRV is:
|
|
|
|
* 1.60.0 for the `read` feature and its dependencies.
|
|
* 1.65.0 for other features.
