The conf directory

The directory conf exists as a sub-directory to the file system root.

The file contains global MemProcFS status and configuration settings not related to individual processes. The settings are exposed as files and are listed in the table below:

Debugging symbols configuration

MemProcFS utilizes debugging symbols retrieved from .pdb files for some features. By default MemProcFS will load symbols from the Microsoft Symbol Server, after the user has accepted the EULA popup, into a local cache directory. The local cache directory resides by-default in the \Symbols sub-directory from the MemProcFS directory.

It is possible to configure non-default values of the local symbol cache directory and the symbol server by editing the files config_symbolcache.txt and config_symbolserver.txt in the conf directory. Valid non-default changes to these files will be persisted under the registry key HKCU\Software\UlfFrisk\MemProcFS\ in the per-user registry hive.

It is possible to permanently disable symbols or the symbol server by DWORD values named SymbolEnable and SymbolServerEnable consisting of the value 0 under the above registry key. It is also possible to disable the symbol server at startup with the -symbolserverdisable startup option.

Example

The example show the conf directory and its contents. The statistics file content is generated from various statistics - such as internal cache hits/misses. It is also possible to check and alter various settings. The example shows enabling verbosity by editing the file config_printf_v.txt and looking at the maximum physical address of the target system.

For Developers

The conf sub-directory is implemented as a built-in native C-code plugin. The plugin source is located in the file modules/m_conf.c in the vmm project. In addition of being responsible for global status and configuration settings it's responsible for per-process status and configuration settings.
