Glibc function args

Glibc function call arguments definition

This directory holds json used to print better definition of glibc function arguments. Arguments' definitions are taken from glibc manual, and can be used as a kind reminder.

For example, the arguments for a read@plt would currently look like this:

But using this feature, it will instead look like this:

Functions are detected if they end with @plt, which means that static binaries won't benefit from this.

User has to set two context configurations:

• context.libc_args: boolean, set to True to use this feature
• context.libc_args_path: string, must be set to the directory where the libc definition json files can be found

The script generate_glibc_args_json.py is used to create provided json files. It works by parsing glibc manual text, can be downloaded from https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/text/libc.txt.gz and saved in the current directory.
