14. Binary to DB Conversion¶
WLAB converts binary files to WLA’s byte definition strings. Here’s how you use it:
wlab -[ap]{bdh} <BIN FILE>
Give it the binary file and WLAB will output the WLA DB formatted data of it into stdout. Here’s an example from real life:
wlab -da gayskeletor.bin > gayskeletor.s
WLAB has three command flags of which one must be given to WLAB:
- -b
Output data in binary format.
- -d
Output data in decimal format.
- -h
Output data in hexadecimal format.
WLAB has also two option flags:
- -a
Print the address (relative to the beginning of the data).
- -p
Don’t print file header.
Examples:
[seravy@localhost src]# wlab -bap iscandar.bin > iscandar.s
[seravy@localhost src]# wlab -h starsha.bin > starsha.s
