readpe: Display a specific header from a PE file.
$ readpe --header ${select} ${path-to-executable}
try on your machine

This command uses the "readpe" command-line tool to read and display information about a Portable Executable (PE) file.

Let's break down the command:

  • "readpe" is the name of the command-line tool.
  • "--header" is an option that specifies the type of information to retrieve from the PE file. In this case, it is asking to display the header information of the PE file.
  • "${select}" is a placeholder for a specific option or parameter that is selected. It could be a specific option or value that is passed to the "readpe" tool.
  • "${path-to-executable}" is a placeholder for the path to the PE file you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the actual path to the executable you want to inspect.

By executing this command with the appropriate values for "${select}" and "${path-to-executable}", you can obtain the header information of the specified PE file.
