Just like the old saying "girls just wanna have fun", so do software researchers.
Many of us sometimes need to just get the values of some basic C native types. We can look for them in the headers or just compile a simple C program to print them - which can be quite exhausting each time.
That's where c-helpers
comes into place - Simply use the c-const
and c-struct
directly from your terminal!
For example:
$ c-struct 'struct dirent'
sizeof(struct dirent): 1048 (0x418)
$ c-struct 'struct dirent' d_ino
sizeof(struct dirent): 1048 (0x418)
offsetof(struct dirent, d_ino): 0 (0x00)
sizeof(struct dirent::d_ino): 8 (0x08)
$ c-const EAGAIN
35 (0x23)
python3 -m pip install c-helpers
