+Description: lightweight multi-architecture disassembly framework - devel files
+ Capstone is a lightweight multi-platform, multi-architecture disassembly
+ framework. These are the development headers and libraries.
+ Features:
+ - Support hardware architectures: AArch64, ARM, Alpha, BPF, EVM, HPPA, LongArch, M680X, M68K, MOS65XX, Mips, PowerPC, RISCV, SH, Sparc, SystemZ, TMS320C64x, TriCore, WASM, x86, XCore.
+ - Clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API.
+ - Provide details on disassembled instructions (called "decomposer" by some
+ others).
+ - Provide some semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of
+ implicit registers read & written.
+ - Thread-safe by design.
+ - Special support for embedding into firmware or OS kernel.
+ - Distributed under the open source BSD license.
