About

The libraries in this directory have been patched, extended, or otherwise modified from their original versions for use with binwalk.

Specifically:

o libtinfl includes several bug patches and wrapper functions not available in the upstream source. o libcompress42 contains code taken from the ncompress Unix utility and turned into a library. To the author's knowledge, this functionality is not available elsewhere as a standard library.

Package mantainers should consult their particular distribution's rules on bundled code with regards to the above libraries.

Installation

These libraries will be built and installed by default, unless the --disable-clibs option is provided to the configure script.

The libraries will be installed to the lib sub-directory of the binwalk Python module so as to not conflict with existing libraries on the system.
