💅 sigscan — the local man page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so. you opened sigscan() from the LOCAL manual section, and honestly? iconic decision. this is sigscan, and she's here to scan a file for binary signatures. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

sigscan — scans a file for binary signatures 🔍

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sigscan [-hvV] source

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one file, three little flags, go off 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so sigscan is a utility to scan a file for binary signatures. no cap.

she's part of the libsigscan package. and libsigscan? she's a library to scan a file for binary signatures. the way that they're a matched set 😭💖 it's giving dynamic duo.

source is the source file. like, the file you're scanning. that's her.

the options are as follows:

  • -h — shows this help 🫶 (she's helpful like that)
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. more talking, more tea ☕
  • -V — print version. so you know exactly which glow-up you're running 👑

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None

she doesn't care about your environment variables. lowkey unbothered. periodt. 💀

🎀 FILES 🎀

None

no files. no side quests. just vibes. ✨

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

# sigscan ...

yes bestie, that's the example. it's giving "figure it out, you got this" 🙈 but fr fr you do got this.

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

okay listen. errors, verbose output, and debug output all get printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled.

⚠️ but here's the tea: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you compiled her without that, no amount of -v is gonna make her spill. 😭

💀 BUGS 💀
