binfmt-detector-cli This utility determines the Microsoft PE executable file's type (Native or .NET CLR). It is inteded to be used as a filter a Linux binfmt configuration, since binfmt itself is incapable of reliably distinguishing between various PE file types (since they have no different "magic string"). Technical information The file's type is determined from certain characteristics in the PE / COFF file header. It should be noted that the techniques used might not be standard and are not throughtly tested to work, so false detections might occur. To be considered a CLR executable, the PE header's directory entry for the "CLR Header" must have a non-zero address and a non-zero size.
