ElfBasicHeaderAttributesAnalyzer (Analyzer)

Deserialize the ElfBasicHeader, which contains the first 7 fields of the ELF header. These fields are all endianness- & word-size-agnostic, and in fact define the endianness and word size for the remainder of the header.

The remaining fields are deserialized as part of the ElfHeader. See "ELF header (Ehdr)" in https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/elf.5.html for details.

analyze(self, resource, config=None) async

Analyze a resource for to extract specific ResourceAttributes.

Users should not call this method directly; rather, they should run Resource.run or Resource.analyze.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
resource Resource

The resource that is being analyzed

required
config

Optional config for analyzing. If an implementation provides a default, this default will always be used when config would otherwise be None. Note that a copy of the default config will be passed, so the default config values cannot be modified persistently by a component run.

None

Returns:

Type Description
ElfBasicHeader

The analysis results
