Method Detail

getCharacteristics	back to summary
public short getCharacteristics() Gets the union of all characteristics set for this object or image file. See `sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.win32.coff.Characteristics`.

getCOFFSymbol	back to summary
public COFFSymbol getCOFFSymbol(int index) Retrieves the COFF symbol at the given index, between 0 and getNumberOfSymbols() - 1. This is distinct from CodeView information.

getMachineType	back to summary
public short getMachineType() Returns one of the constants in `sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.win32.coff.MachineTypes`.

getNumberOfSections	back to summary
public short getNumberOfSections() Number of sections; indicates size of the Section Table, which immediately follows the headers.

getNumberOfStrings	back to summary
public int getNumberOfStrings() Returns the number of strings in the String Table, which immediately follows the COFF Symbol Table.

getNumberOfSymbols	back to summary
public int getNumberOfSymbols() Number of entries in the symbol table. This data can be used in locating the string table, which immediately follows the symbol table.

getOptionalHeader	back to summary
public OptionalHeader getOptionalHeader() throws COFFException Returns the optional header if one is present or null if not.

getPointerToSymbolTable	back to summary
public int getPointerToSymbolTable() File offset of the COFF symbol table or 0 if none is present.

getSectionHeader	back to summary
public SectionHeader getSectionHeader(int index) Retrieves the section header at the given index, between 1 and getNumberOfSections() Note This index is one-based, so the first section is numbered one, not zero.

getSizeOfOptionalHeader	back to summary
public short getSizeOfOptionalHeader() Size of the optional header, which is required for executable files but not for object files. An object file should have a value of 0 here.

getString	back to summary
public String getString(int i) Retrieves the ith string (0..`getNumberOfStrings` - 1) from the string table.

getTimeDateStamp	back to summary
public int getTimeDateStamp() Time and date the file was created.

hasCharacteristic	back to summary
public boolean hasCharacteristic(short characteristic) Indicates whether this file has the given characteristic. The argument must be one of the constants specified in `sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.win32.coff.Characteristics`.
