"longdescription": "# Binary Ninja PE Utils\nBunch'a niche utilities for working with PE-based binaries.\n\n## Features\n\n### Resolve ordinal imports\nOrdinal imports can be resolved to symbol names from external BNDBs.\nIf you rename an exported function in the external BNDB, the name you\ndefined will be used instead of the original export name.\n\nGiven an example import as shown below:\n\n![Import table with unresolved ordinals](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/table_not_loaded.png)\n\n![IAT with unresolved ordinals](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/iat_unsynced.png)\n\nBy loading a binary view for `OLEAUT32.dll`, we can update the import\nnames for the target binary view with the real name behind the import:\n\n![Import table with resolved ordinals](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/table_loaded.png)\n\n![IAT with resolved ordinals](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/iat_synced.png)\n\n\n### Synchronize symbol names and types across binaries\nTypes defined in external BNDBs can be transferred to the current binary\nview in order to aid with reversing.\n\nContinuing from the above example, we can rename the arg of the function\n`SysStringLen` from the external BNDB `OLEAUT32.dll`:\n\n![Function with renamed argument](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/func_renamed_arg.png)\n\nWhen synced, the IAT will be updated with the new argument:\n\n![IAT with renamed argument](screens/iat_renamed.png)\n\nWe can also see that the new argument is exposed through other\ndisassembly views, like MLIL:\n\n![MLIL call with renamed argument](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/mlil_renamed_arg.png)\n\nAs mentioned earlier, symbol names also get transferred between loaded BNDBs.\nRenaming the export from the external BNDB then resyncing, we can see that the\nchanges is transferred to the target binary view:\n\n![Function with renamed symbol](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/func_renamed_sym.png)\n\n![MLIL call with renamed symbol](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/404d/peutils/master/screens/mlil_renamed_sym.png)\n",
