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");
       }
