NAME
grokevt-dumpmsgs - A tool for dumping the contents of message databases built previously by grokevt-ripdll(1).
SYNOPSIS
grokevt-dumpmsgs message-db1 [message-db2 ...] .SH DESCRIPTION grokevt-dumpmsgs takes one or more message databases previously built with
grokevt-ripdll(1) and prints out all entries to stdout. This is mainly a debugging tool, but may be useful for analyzing the message con-
tents of PE files while developing other applications.
ARGUMENTS
grokevt-dumpmsgs uses the following arguments:
message-dbN
If multiple message databases are supplied, entries of all databases are printed to stdout in the order they are provided.
OUTOUT
grokevt-dumpmsgs prints each database entry out on a single line, in two comma-separated columns. The first column is the message ID, which
is in the format:
XXXX-YYYYYYYY
Here, XXXX represents the message's language code, and the YYYYYYYY represents the message's relative virtual address (RVA) within the mes-
sage block of the PE file. The second column contains the message itself. Messages containing special characters (such as newlines or com-
mas) are encoded in the same manner that grokevt-parselog(1) encodes them ("xQQ" where QQ is the hexadecimal value of the character).
BUGS
Probably several. This particular script has not been extensively tested.
