+# Project Description
|
|
|
+PERWAPI is a reader writer module for .NET program executables. It has been used as back-end for progamming language compilers such as Gardens Point Component Pascal, the Ruby.NET prototype and .NET assemblers.
|
|
|
+PERWAPI is written in C# and optionally produces PDB files also.

+_PERWAPI_ is a module that reads and writes .NET program executable files. It was developed primarily as a file reader writer for programming language compilers. It defines classes for all of the features of the IL model, and methods to read and write the metadata of the PE-file. The module is written in C#, and does not rely on any facilities outside the base class libraries. It uses neither unmanaged code nor COM interop.

+In its current form it supports most of the features of the .NET V3.5 framework.

+A second module of the project _SymbolRW_ provides a managed interface to the COM interface for reading and writing PDB debug files. This module is a minimal interface for the features typically required for debug information of compilers. It does not provide access to all of the features of mscoree.dll.
