#protodump

Free .o to .h converter.

protodump reads object files, looks for DWARF information and combines it with the table of exported symbols. It can also find differences between two object files and can be used to see if their ABI is the same.

#Building

Use cargo build.

You may add and remove support for specific object file types with "Cargo features". They are all enabled by default:

• coff (old windows executable)
• elf (used in unixes)
• macho (by apple)
• pe (for windows)
• wasm (web assembly)

Use cargo --no-default-features --features elf,wasm to choose.

Other available features:

• compression: enable reading compressed debug info sections. Disabled by default.

#Usage

protodump $(command -v protodump)
# or
cargo run -- target/debug/protodump

Run protodump --help for the list of options, and see the man page protodump(1) for more information.
