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
