"""Exposes functionality for manipulating ELF files


Stop hard-coding things!  Look them up at runtime with :mod:`pwnlib.elf`.

Example Usage
-------------

.. code-block:: python

    >>> e = ELF('/bin/cat')
    >>> print(hex(e.address)) #doctest: +SKIP
    0x400000
    >>> print(hex(e.symbols['write'])) #doctest: +SKIP
    0x401680
    >>> print(hex(e.got['write'])) #doctest: +SKIP
    0x60b070
    >>> print(hex(e.plt['write'])) #doctest: +SKIP
    0x401680

You can even patch and save the files.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> e = ELF('/bin/cat')
    >>> e.read(e.address+1, 3)
    b'ELF'
    >>> e.asm(e.address, 'ret')
    >>> e.save('/tmp/quiet-cat')
    >>> disasm(open('/tmp/quiet-cat','rb').read(1))
    '   0:   c3                      ret'

        Notes:
            Does not search empty space between segments, or uninitialized

        Yields:

        Examples:

            ELF segments do not have to contain all of the data on-disk
            that gets loaded into memory.

            First, let's create an ELF file has some code in two sections.

            >>> assembly = '''
            ... .section .A,"awx"
            ... .global A

            ... .global B
            ... B: int3
            ... '''
            >>> e = ELF.from_assembly(assembly, vma=False)

            By default, these come right after eachother in memory.

            >>> e.read(e.symbols.A, 2)
            b'\x90\xcc'
            >>> e.symbols.B - e.symbols.A
            1

            Let's move the sections so that B is a little bit further away.

            >>> objcopy = pwnlib.asm._objcopy()
            >>> objcopy += [
            ...     '--change-section-vma', '.B+5',
            ...     '--change-section-lma', '.B+5',

            ... ]
            >>> subprocess.check_call(objcopy)
            0

            Now let's re-load the ELF, and check again

            >>> e = ELF(e.path)
            >>> e.symbols.B - e.symbols.A
            6
            >>> e.read(e.symbols.A, 2)

            things around keeps everything working.

        This requires both presence of the dynamic tag ``DT_BIND_NOW``, and
        a ``GNU_RELRO`` program header.

        The `ELF Specification`_ describes how the linker should resolve
        symbols immediately, as soon as a binary is loaded.  This can be
        emulated with the ``LD_BIND_NOW=1`` environment variable.

            ``DT_BIND_NOW``

            If present in a shared object or executable, this entry instructs
            the dynamic linker to process all relocations for the object
            containing this entry before transferring control to the program.
            The presence of this entry takes precedence over a directive to use
            lazy binding for this object when specified through the environment
            or via ``dlopen(BA_LIB)``.

            (`page 81`_)

        Separately, an extension to the GNU linker allows a binary to specify
        a PT_GNU_RELRO_ program header, which describes the *region of memory
        which is to be made read-only after relocations are complete.*

        Finally, a new-ish extension which doesn't seem to have a canonical
        source of documentation is DF_BIND_NOW_, which has supposedly superceded
        ``DT_BIND_NOW``.

            ``DF_BIND_NOW``

            If set in a shared object or executable, this flag instructs the
            dynamic linker to process all relocations for the object containing
            this entry before transferring control to the program. The presence
            of this entry takes precedence over a directive to use lazy binding
            for this object when specified through the environment or via

        Specifically, we are checking for ``READ_IMPLIES_EXEC`` being set
        by the kernel, as a result of honoring ``PT_GNU_STACK`` in the kernel.

        ``READ_IMPLIES_EXEC`` is set, according to a set of architecture specific
        rules, that depend on the CPU features, and the presence of ``PT_GNU_STACK``.

        Unfortunately, :class:`ELF` is not context-aware, so it's not always possible
        to determine whether the process of a binary that's missing ``PT_GNU_STACK``
        will have NX or not.
        
        The rules are as follows:

        Looks for the interpreter binary in the given path and patches the binary to use
        it if available. Also patches the RUNPATH to the given path using the `patchelf utility <https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf>`_.

        Arguments:
            exe_path(str): Path to the binary to patch.
            custom_library_path(str): Path to a folder containing the libraries.
            create_copy(bool): Create a copy of the binary and apply the patches to the copy.
            suffix(str): Suffix to append to the filename when creating the copy to patch.

        Returns:
