binsize

library0.1.4pypypiunverified

A tool to analyze the size of a binary from an ELF file. Currently at version 0.1.4, released irregularly as a hobby project. It parses ELF files and provides detailed size breakdowns by sections, symbols, and memory regions.

analyze

✓ from binsize import analyze

The main entry point for analyzing an ELF file.

Basic usage: import the analyze function and pass the path to an ELF file. Returns a dictionary with size information.

from binsize import analyze import tempfile, os # Example: analyze an ELF file (provide path to your .elf) result = analyze('/path/to/your.elf') print(result)

binsize --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `analyze` function expects an existing ELF file; it does not generate binaries.

fix

Ensure you have an ELF binary (e.g., from GCC or Rust compilation) before calling analyze.

affects: <=0.1.4

gotchaThe output format is a nested dictionary that may change between minor versions; do not rely on exact keys without checking.

fix

Inspect the result structure manually after upgrading.

affects: <=0.1.4
