Current backends:\n\n* ELF 32/64, arm, x86, openrisc - all others will parse and color, but relocations won\u0027t show properly\n* Mach 32/64, arm, x86\n* Unix and BSD archive printer\n* PE (debug only)\n\n**NOTE**: Building requires rustc version 1.74 or greater.  If you\u0027re using a distro\u0027s rust compiler, consider using https://rustup.rs to install your rustc compiler and associated binaries.\n\n![elf_table2](etc/elf_table2.png)\n\n![elf_table1](etc/elf_table1.png)\n\n![mach](etc/mach.png)\n\n![archive](etc/archive.png)\n\n## Install\n\n`bingrep` is available through cargo, via `cargo install bingrep`, or you can build, and install the resulting binary wherever you like.\n\n## Build\n\nTested with stable rustc 1.74.0.\n\n`cargo build --release`\n\nNow copy the resulting binary in `\u003cpath_to_bingrep\u003e/target/release/bingrep` wherever you like.\n\n## Build for Packagers\n\nIf using `cargo`, I suggest to use the \"product\" profile, which uses LTO with 1 codegen unit; this should be the most performant, but also ends up slimming the binary down somewhat.\n\n```\ncargo build --profile product\nstrip target/product/bingrep\n```\n\nThe resulting binary in `target/product/bingrep` is ready to go.\n\n## Run\n\nExample:\n\n```\nbingrep /bin/ls\n```\n\nTo dump internal debug representation of the parsed binary:\n\n```\nbingrep -d /bin/ls\n```\n\nTo demangle symbols, use `-D` or `--demangle`:\n\n```\nbingrep -D /bin/ls\n```\n\n## Meta Analysis (Experimental)\n\nYou can print a hextable (WIP) via `--hex` or an overview of file offset ranges via `--ranges`.\n\n![ranges](etc/ranges.pn",
