readpe: Display all the headers present in a PE file.

$ readpe --all-headers ${path-to-executable}

try on your machine

The command "readpe --all-headers ${path-to-executable}" is used to read and display all the headers of a Portable Executable (PE) file.

Here is a breakdown of the different components of the command:

"readpe": This is the name of the command or program that is being executed. It is a tool or utility designed to analyze and extract information from PE files.
"--all-headers": This is a command-line option or flag that instructs the "readpe" program to display all the headers of the specified PE file. Headers in a PE file contain important information about the file's structure, sections, imports/exports, and other details.
"${path-to-executable}": This is a placeholder for the actual path or location of the PE file (executable) that you want to analyze. You need to replace "${path-to-executable}" with the specific path to the file on your system.

When you run the command with the correct path to the executable, the "readpe" program will parse the file, extract the necessary header information, and display it in the console or terminal window.
