"""Utilities to extract string literals from object files.
LookupElfRodataInfo():
Runs readelf to extract and return .rodata section spec of an ELF file.
ReadFileChunks():
Reads raw data from a file, given a list of ranges in the file.
ReadStringLiterals():
Reads the ELF file to find the string contents of a list of string literals.
ResolveStringPiecesIndirect():
BulkForkAndCall() target: Given {path: [string addresses]} and
[raw_string_data for each string_section]:
- Reads {path: [src_strings]}.
- For each path, searches for src_strings in at most 1 raw_string_data over
each string_section. If found, translates to string_range and annotates it
to the string_section.
- Returns [{path: [string_ranges]} for each string_section].
ResolveStringPieces():
BulkForkAndCall() target: Given {path: [strings]} and
[raw_string_data for each string_section]:
- For each path, searches for src_strings in at most 1 raw_string_data over
each string_section. If found, translates to string_range and annotates it
to the string_section.
- Returns [{path: [string_ranges]} for each string_section].
GetNameOfStringLiteralBytes():
Converts string literal bytes to printable form, useful for assigning
full_name of string literal symbols. If any non-printable character is found
then returns models.STRING_LITERAL_NAME. Otherwise the returned string is
quoted, and may be truncated (with "[...]" appended).
