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.
