readpe: Display all information about a PE file.
$ readpe ${path-to-executable}
try on your machine

The command "readpe" is used to analyze and display information about a PE (Portable Executable) file. The PE format is the executable file format used by Windows operating systems.

In the command "readpe ${path-to-executable}", the ${path-to-executable} is a placeholder for the actual path to the executable file you want to analyze. You need to replace ${path-to-executable} with the specific location or path of the PE file you want to examine.

Once you execute the command, it will read and analyze the specified PE file, providing you with various details such as the file header, sections, imports, exports, resource information, and more. It helps in understanding the structure and content of the executable file, which can be useful for debugging, reverse engineering, or general analysis purposes.
