readpe: List all exported functions.
$ readpe --exports ${path-to-executable}
try on your machine
The command "readpe --exports ${path-to-executable}" is used to read the exported functions from a Windows Portable Executable (PE) file.
Here's the breakdown of each part in the command:
- "readpe" is the name of the program or command-line tool that is being executed.
- "--exports" is an argument or option provided to the "readpe" program, specifying that we are interested in exporting functions from the PE file.
- "${path-to-executable}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the PE file you want to analyze. This could be something like "C:\path\to\executable.exe".
When you run this command, it will process the specified PE file and display a list of all the functions that are exported by that executable. Exported functions are those that can be accessed by other programs or libraries, serving as entry points or interfaces to the functionality provided by the executable.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
