What it is for

Thin bounded wrapper around Volatility3 (vol): cited Observations from process, network, injected-memory, and command-line analysis of a RAM capture. No verdicts — Volatility3's own field values are cited verbatim.

The wire format below (leading blank line, one JSON object per line for -r jsonl, every row carrying a __children key) was verified against Volatility3 2.28.0's own JsonRenderer/JsonLinesRenderer source (volatility3/cli/text_renderer.py), not assumed. Exact column names per plugin were NOT verified against a live memory image (none was available), so to_observations cites every column generically (key=value, sorted) rather than selecting specific fields by name.

Capabilities

`crate root`

Thin bounded wrapper around Volatility3 (vol): cited Observations from process,

Item
`fn parse_vol_jsonl(stdout : & str) -> Vec <Map <String, Value>>`
`fn to_observations(rows : & Map <String, Value>, rule_id : & str) -> Vec <Observation>`

`MemoryError`

Thin bounded wrapper around Volatility3 (vol): cited Observations from process,

Item
`pub enum MemoryError`
`async fn process_list(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`
`async fn network_connections(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`
`async fn injected_memory(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`
`async fn command_lines(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`

How to use it

No examples/ target and no doctest in this crate's rustdoc. The tests listed under Verification are the closest executable usage.

Module structure

No public modules: the crate root is its whole surface.

Public surface

`crate root`

Item	What it is
`pub enum MemoryError`	Every way a memory-analysis run can fail.
`fn parse_vol_jsonl(stdout : & str) -> Vec <Map <String, Value>>`	Parse Volatility3 `-r jsonl` stdout into one map per row, in order
`fn to_observations(rows : & Map <String, Value>, rule_id : & str) -> Vec <Observation>`	Lift parsed rows into cited Observations
`async fn process_list(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`	`vol -f <image> -r jsonl windows.pslist` — process list at capture time.
`async fn network_connections(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`	`vol -f <image> -r jsonl windows.netscan` — network connections at capture time.
`async fn injected_memory(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`	`vol -f <image> -r jsonl windows.malfind` — injected / unbacked executable memory.
`async fn command_lines(vol_bin : impl Into <PathBuf>, image_path : & str, limits : ExecLimits,) -> Result <Vec <Observation>, MemoryError>`	`vol -f <image> -r jsonl windows.cmdline` — command line per process.

No pub use re-exports: every item above is declared in this crate.
