game_mod = find_module_ex(process, process.name)

# Resolve a Cheat Engine pointer scan
health_pointer = deep_pointer_ex(process, game_mod.base + 0xdeadbeef, [0xA0, 0x04, 0x10, 0xF0, 0x0])

Documentation

The main documentation for libmem can be found in include/libmem.h. All APIs are documented and contain very descriptive information about each function, their parameters and return value. They are located in nearby comments, so you should be able to see them by hovering on your text editor/IDE.

Similarly, the bindings documentation is embedded with their packages, so your text editor/IDE should be able to access the documentation for each API.

Unnoficial Bindings

These bindings are done by the community/third-parties and are not affiliated with the libmem project or its author.

Their code can have their own licenses as well, diverging from libmem's.

• Nim_Libmem
• Crazymem (NodeJS)

CMake Usage (without installing)

Add the following commands to your CMakeLists.txt.

They will fetch libmem-config.cmake from the root of this repository, which will download libmem binaries for your system and include libmem in your CMake project.

include(FetchContent)

# Download and set up libmem
FetchContent_Declare(libmem-config URL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rdbo/libmem/config-v1/libmem-config.cmake" DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT TRUE)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(libmem-config)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${libmem-config_SOURCE_DIR}" "${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}")
set(LIBMEM_DOWNLOAD_VERSION "5.0.2")

# Find libmem package
find_package(libmem CONFIG REQUIRED)

Use the following to link against libmem (NOTE: it might be necessary to link against other dependencies - go to the Dependencies section for more information):

# Link against libmem
target_link_libraries(<YOUR_TARGET_NAME> PRIVATE libmem::libmem)

Installing

Windows

Note: If you download a binary version of libmem in the GitHub releases, you only need to install the Windows SDK. Building is not necessary, just add libmem/include to your project's include directories and link it against the binary you downloaded.

1. Install the Windows SDK: Windows 7 - Windows 10/11

2. Install Python 3 (Check the option to add Python to PATH) (Use Python 3.8.9 for Windows 7)

3. Install Visual Studio 2022 or newer (with C++ support and CMake) (older versions might work, but they were not tested). NOTE: You can install only the Visual Studio Build Tools if you don't want the whole IDE.

4. Install Git Bash

5. Run a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt (or x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 for 64 bits) as Administrator

6. Run the following command to append libmem's destination directory to your %PATH% user variable (WARNING - watch for your %PATH% size limit!):

    setx PATH "%PATH%;%ProgramFiles%\libmem\include;%ProgramFiles%\libmem\lib"
   

7. Continue reading at Build and Install

Linux

Note: The following commands are for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions. Make sure to find the appropriate commands for your Linux distribution.

1. Open a terminal

2. Install GCC, G++, Git, CMake, Make, Python 3, and the Linux headers:

    sudo apt install gcc g++ git cmake make python3 linux-headers
   

3. Continue reading at Build and Install

FreeBSD

1. Add a mountpoint for the procfs filesystem in your /etc/fstab by appending the following line:

    proc		/proc		procfs	rw	0	0
   

2. Manually mount the procfs. This will only be necessary if you don't reboot. If you reboot, it will be automatically mounted because of the line at /etc/fstab. Run the following command (as root):

    mount -t procfs proc /proc
   

3. Install Git, CMake and Python3 (run as root) (clang, clang++ and make should already be installed):

    pkg install git cmake python3
   

4. Continue reading at Build and Install

Build and Install

Note: Run the following commands on Git Bash (Windows) or a terminal (Linux/FreeBSD).

Clone the repository:

git clone --recursive --depth 1 https://github.com/rdbo/libmem

Generate the CMake cache:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Compile libmem:

Windows: nmake

Unix-like: make -j 4

Install libmem (run as root or as Administrator):

Windows: nmake install

Unix-like: make install

After installing, follow the the proper Usage section for your programming language

Usage (C/C++)

Add #include <libmem/libmem.h> (C/C++) or #include <libmem/libmem.hpp> (C++) to your source code. Link the generated libmem library against your binary (liblibmem.so for Unix-like or libmem.dll for Windows). For GCC-like compilers: add the flag -llibmem to your compiler and it should link it.

#include <libmem/libmem.h> /* C/C++ */
#include <libmem/libmem.hpp> /* Force C++ */

Usage (Rust)

NOTE: You no longer have to install libmem to use with Rust, as long as the fetch feature is enabled on the libmem crate (default). If you disable that feature, it will look for libmem in your system, and you can make the libmem path explicit by using the environment var LIBMEM_DIR=<path to libmem's directory>.

Add the following line to your Cargo.toml under [dependencies]:

libmem = "5"

Import libmem in your Rust source code:

use libmem::*;

Usage (Python)

NOTE: You no longer have to install libmem to use with Python. If no installation is found, the package will fetch and link libmem for you seamlessly. You can use the LIBDIR=<path to libmem's directory> environment variable to tell the libmem package where to look for your installation (if you installed it).

Make sure to have Python >= 3.6 active
Either install the libmem package from PyPi by running the following command:

pip install --upgrade libmem

Or build and install it yourself by running the following commands:

cd libmem-py
python configure.py
python setup.py install

Now to import libmem, just do the following in your Python code:

from libmem import *
