Function Documentation

opdis_disasm_bfd_cflow	(	opdis_t	o,
		bfd *	abfd,
		opdis_vma_t	vma
	)

Disassemble a contents of a BFD following flow of control.

Parameters:

	o	opdis disassembler
	abfd	The BFD to disassemble
	vma	The address (VMA) of the entry point in the BFD

opdis_disasm_bfd_entry	(	opdis_t	o,
		bfd *	abfd
	)

Disassemble a BFD following flow of control from entry point (_start).

Parameters:

	o	opdis disassembler
	abfd	The BFD to disassemble

opdis_disasm_bfd_linear	(	opdis_t	o,
		bfd *	abfd,
		opdis_vma_t	vma,
		opdis_off_t	length
	)

Disassemble a sequence of instructions in a BFD.

Parameters:

	o	opdis disassembler
	abfd	The BFD to disassemble
	vma	The address (VMA) in the BFD to start disassembly at.
	length	The number of bytes to disassemble.

Note:

If length is zero, then all bytes from offset to the end of the BFD will be disassembled.

opdis_disasm_bfd_section	(	opdis_t	o,
		asection *	sec
	)

Disassemble a the contents of a BFD section using linear disassembly.

Parameters:

	o	opdis disassembler
	sec	The section to disassemble

opdis_disasm_bfd_symbol	(	opdis_t	o,
		asymbol *	sym
	)

Disassemble a BFD following flow of control from a symbol.

Parameters:

	o	opdis disassembler
	sym	The BFD symbol to start disassembly at.

opdis_init_from_bfd

(

bfd *

abfd

)

Initialize an opdis disassembler based on a BFD object.

Allocates an opdis_t using opdis_init(), then configures libopcodes based on information (e.g. the architecture) in the BFD.

Parameters:

target

A BFD object to operate on

See also:

opdis_init_from_bfd

Returns:

An opdis disassembler object

Note:

This requires that the BFD be configured correctly for the target architecture. See the documentation for libbfd in the GNU binutils distribution.
