Usage
abi-wizard <file/path>
where file/path is a path to a location to scan.
Output
Up to 4 files per device architecture may be generated:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| abi_libs | List of ELF files provided by the search path |
| abi_symbols | List of symbols exported by the detected ELF files |
| abi_used_libs | List of libs imported by the detected ELF files |
| abi_used_symbols | List of symbols imported by the detected ELF files |
A suffix will be added to the output files to signify the architecture:
| Architecture | Suffix |
|---|---|
| x86 | 32 |
| x86_64 | N/A |
Currently only 32-bit and 64-bit x86 architectures are supported
