# LIEF documentation

> LIEF parses, inspects, modifies, and writes executable formats in C++, Python, and Rust.

Documentation version: 2.0.0. Channel: latest. Canonical documentation: https://lief.re/doc/latest/

Match these references to the installed LIEF version. The latest channel follows development; the stable channel documents the latest release. Check the installation and feature guides for platform, architecture, and build requirements.

LIEF Extended adds debug information, Objective-C metadata, dyld shared cache, assembly, and disassembly features. Basic runtime support is an independent build option; runtime memory-layout enumeration, assembly, and disassembly require Extended.

Each page has a resolved Markdown copy with absolute citation links, expanded code includes, all language tabs, and API signatures. The indexes cover this Sphinx documentation; separate Rustdoc and Doxygen sites are linked from the API guides. Use individual pages or chunks for targeted retrieval; llms-full.txt bundles every page and can be large.
