SBSection¶

class lldb.SBSection(*args)¶

Represents an executable image section.

SBSection supports iteration through its subsection, represented as SBSection as well. For example,

for sec in exe_module.section_iter():
    if sec.GetName() == '__TEXT':
        print sec
        break
print INDENT + 'Number of subsections: %d' % sec.GetNumSubSections()
for subsec in sec:
    print INDENT + repr(subsec)

produces:

[0x0000000100000000-0x0000000100002000) a.out.__TEXT
    Number of subsections: 6
    [0x0000000100001780-0x0000000100001d5c) a.out.__TEXT.__text
    [0x0000000100001d5c-0x0000000100001da4) a.out.__TEXT.__stubs
    [0x0000000100001da4-0x0000000100001e2c) a.out.__TEXT.__stub_helper
    [0x0000000100001e2c-0x0000000100001f10) a.out.__TEXT.__cstring
    [0x0000000100001f10-0x0000000100001f68) a.out.__TEXT.__unwind_info
    [0x0000000100001f68-0x0000000100001ff8) a.out.__TEXT.__eh_frame

Attributes Summary

`addr`	A read only property that returns an lldb object that represents the start address (lldb.SBAddress) for this section.
`alignment`	A read only property that returns the alignment of this section as a number of host bytes.
`data`	A read only property that returns an lldb object that represents the bytes for this section (lldb.SBData) for this section.
`file_addr`	A read only property that returns an integer that represents the starting "file" address for this section, or the address of the section in the object file in which it is defined.
`file_offset`	A read only property that returns the file offset in bytes of this section as an integer.
`file_size`	A read only property that returns the file size in bytes of this section as an integer.
`name`	A read only property that returns the name of this section as a string.
`size`	A read only property that returns the size in bytes of this section as an integer.
`target_byte_size`	Deprecated.
`type`	A read only property that returns an lldb enumeration value (see enumerations that start with "lldb.eSectionType") that represents the type of this section (code, data, etc.).

Methods Documentation

FindSubSection(SBSection self, char const * sect_name) → SBSection¶

GetAlignment()¶

Return the alignment of the section in bytes

Return type:: int
Returns:: The alignment of the section in bytes

GetByteSize(SBSection self) → lldb::addr_t¶

GetDescription(SBSection self, SBStream description) → bool¶

GetFileAddress(SBSection self) → lldb::addr_t¶

GetFileByteSize(SBSection self) → uint64_t¶

GetFileOffset(SBSection self) → uint64_t¶

GetLoadAddress(SBSection self, SBTarget target) → lldb::addr_t¶

GetName(SBSection self) → char const *¶

GetPermissions()¶

Gets the permissions (RWX) of the section of the object file

Returns a mask of bits of enum lldb::Permissions for this section. Sections for which permissions are not defined, 0 is returned for them. The binary representation of this value corresponds to [XRW] i.e. for a section having read and execute permissions, the value returned is 6

Return type:: int
Returns:: Returns an unsigned value for Permissions for the section.
