R0 stands for radare-zero

r0 aims to be a minimalistic reimplementation of the radare shell without much complexity and relaying all the extensibility to external applications trying to keep the source as small as possible.

Features

• Small footprint (50KB)
• Minimalistic Intel and ARM disassemblers (90KB)
• Minimum set of commands to inspect and manipulate binaries
• r0d does binary diffing and patching files
• r0v is the visual interactive frontend of r0
• Very portable: Compiles for wasm, js.. even for MS-DOS!
• Single binary without any external dependency

PORTABILITY

r0 is known to build and run on several OS.

• GNU, Linux, OSX, Windows (mingw), DOS, cygwin, Solaris, BSD, ...

TODO:

• support for escapped characters in string write and search ops
• Add support for simple math ops (+,-,*,/) no parenthesis plz :)

TODO/TOTHINK

• Remove '.' command? to make it suck less
• Add .! command that runs !foo > file and then .file
• Support for multiple commands in a single line (';' separator)
