Pics
Pics is a comprehensive reference library providing visual documentation for binary file structures, character encodings, processor instruction sets, and hardware architecture maps. It serves as a centralized resource for the dissection and analysis of diverse binary formats, including executables, images, and archives.
The project specializes in mapping complex specifications into visual layouts. This includes the creation of schematic diagrams to explain the physical and logical organization of hardware components and the maintenance of a catalog for processor opcodes across multiple hardware architectures.
The library also covers the mapping and layout of various charsets and code pages for standard text encodings. It utilizes a system of layout-based specification mapping and tabular opcode mapping to translate raw binary data and instructions into structured, human-readable visual references.
