README

Parts of HHVM are implemented in Hack, and are embedded in the HHVM binary as additional ELF PROGDATA sections. This library extracts them from the binary.

There are two kinds of sections that this library extracts:

• systemlib: Pure Hack code
• ext: built-in extensions. These are a mix of normal Hack code, and functions annotated with the <<__Native>> user attribute, which are implemented in the C++ runtime

Sections with different names or aren't PROGDATA can not be examined with this library.

Requirements

This package requires the readelf binary; on Debian-like systems, this is in the elfutils package.

Installation

composer require hhvm/systemlib-extractor
