x86_format_insn(3)                 libdisasm                x86_format_insn(3)

NAME
       x86_format_insn, x86_format_mnemonic, x86_format_operand,
       x86_format_header - generate a string representation of a disassembled
       instruction.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libdis.h>

       int x86_format_operand(x86_op_t *op, char *buf, int len,
            enum x86_asm_format format);

       int x86_format_mnemonic(x86_insn_t *insn, char *buf, int len,
            enum x86_asm_format format );

       int x86_format_insn(x86_insn_t *insn, char *buf, int len,
            enum x86_asm_format format );

       int x86_format_header( char *buf, int len,
            enum x86_asm_format format);

DESCRIPTION
       x86_format_insn generates an assembly-langauge representation of the
       disassembled instruction in the specified format. x86_format_mnemonic
       and  are called by x86_format_operand to format the instruction
       mnemonic and operands, respectively, but they may be invoked directly
       by the user. Each of these routines fills buffer buf of len bytes with
       an ASCII string representing the instruction, mnemonic, or operand.
       x86_format_header fills buffer buf of len bytes with a description of
       the specified format.

       The following formats are available:

            native_syntax : Intel syntax with address and hex
            intel_syntax : Intel x86 syntax
            att_syntax : AT&T Syntax
            raw_syntax : Pipe-delimited internal format
            xml_syntax : XML representation

       Native syntax uses dest, src ordering and displays
       the address, opcode bytes, and instruction in tab-delimited
       format:
              "ADDRESS\tBYTES\tMNEMONIC\tDEST\tSRC\tIMM"

       Intel syntax uses dest, src ordering and displays the instruction in
       tab-and-comma delimited format:
              "MNEMONIC\tDEST, SRC, IMM"

       AT&T syntax uses src, destordering and displays the instruction in
       tab-and-comma delimited format:
              "MNEMONIC\tSRC, DEST, IMM"

       Raw syntax displays all details of the instruction in pipe-delimited
       format:
              "ADDRESS|OFFSET|SIZE|BYTES|PREFIX|PREFIX_STRING|

       XML syntax displays all details of the instruction in XML format:
               GROUP|TYPE|NOTES|MNEMONIC|CPU|ISA|FLAGS_SET|
               FLAGS_TESTED|STACK_MOD|STACK_MOD_VAL"
               [|OP_TYPE|OP_DATATYPE|OP_ACCESS|OP_FLAGS|OP]*"

EXAMPLES
       The following will print insn in Intel syntax:

       void att_print( x86_insn_t *insn ) {
               char line[256];
               x86_format_insn(insn, line, 256, intel_syntax);
               printf( "%s\n", line);
       }

       The following routine formats an instruction manually using AT&T
       syntax:

       void manual_print( x86_insn_t *insn, void *arg ) {
               char buf[128];
               int i;
               printf("%08lX", insn->addr );
               for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
                       if ( i < insn->size ) {
                               printf(" %02X", insn->bytes[i]);
                       } else {
                               printf("   ");
                       }
               }
               x86_format_mnemonic( insn, buf, 128, att_syntax );
               printf( "\t%s\t", buf );
               if ( insn->operands[op_src].type != op_unused ) {
                       x86_format_operand( &insn->operands[op_src],
                                      insn, buf, 128, att_syntax );
                       /* if src is present, so is dest */
                       printf("%s, ", buf);
               }
               if ( insn->operands[op_dest].type != op_unused ) {
                       x86_format_operand( &insn->operands[op_dest],
                                      insn, buf, 128, att_syntax );
                       printf("%s", buf);
               }
               if ( insn->operands[op_imm].type != op_unused ) {
                       x86_format_operand( &insn->operands[op_imm],
                                      insn, buf, 128, att_syntax );
                       /* if src is present, so is dest */
                       printf(", %s", buf);
               }
               printf("\n");
       }
