• Error

Functions

• load_arm64_kernel
• load_arm64_kernel_lz4
• load_elf
  Loads a kernel from a 32-bit or 64-bit ELF image into memory.
• load_multiboot
  Load a Multiboot kernel image into memory.
• multiboot_header_from_file
  Scan the provided kernel file to find a Multiboot header, if present.
• read_elf 🔒
  Reads the headers of an ELF32 or ELF64 object file. Returns ELF file and program headers, converted to ELF64 format as a single internal representation that can handle either 32- or 64-bit images, and the ELF class of the original image.
• read_elf_by_type 🔒
  Reads the headers of an ELF32 or ELF64 object file. Returns ELF file and program headers, converted to ELF64 format. FileHeader and ProgramHeader are the ELF32 or ELF64 ehdr/phdr types to read from the file. Caller should check that file is a valid ELF file before calling this function.
