PGL (Program Loader) is a sysmodule designed for encapsulating all program loading logic.

LaunchFlags

The LaunchFlags enum looks like this:

Bit Mask Name
0 1 LaunchFlags_EnableDetailedCrashReport
1 2 LaunchFlags_EnableCrashReportScreenShotForProduction
2 4 LaunchFlags_EnableCrashReportScreenShotForDevelop

ContentMetaInfo

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x8 ProgramId
0x8 0x4 Version
0xC 0x1 ContentType
0xD 0x1 ID Offset
0xE 0x2 Padding


LaunchProgram

Takes a ProgramLocation, a u32 Process_Manager_services#LaunchFlags pm launch_flags, and a u8 LaunchFlags pgl launch_flags.

This calls pm:shell->LaunchProgram with the program location and the input launch flags. If jit_debug!enable_jit_debug is true, LaunchFlags_SignalOnCrash is ORRd into the flags sent to PM.

This then creates a new process tracking structure for the new process id and with the pgl launch flags. If an empty process struct is not allocated from the 0x20 slab heap, pgl aborts.

It returns a u64 process id.

TerminateProcess

This just calls pm:shell->TerminateProcess with the input process id.

GetEventObserver

No input. Returns an #IEventObserver.

LaunchProgramFromHost

This takes an input u32 Process_Manager_services#LaunchFlags pm launch_flags and a MapAlias input buffer "content path".

The content path must be to an ".nsp" file or a ".nspd" folder. "*.nspd/program0.ncd/" is also allowed.

This calls fs::MountApplicationPackage on the input content path, and reads content meta from "meta0.ncd" or ".cnmt.nca" extension folder/file depending on whether it is a .nspd or .nsp content path.

A location resolver for the Host storage is opened, and EraseProgramRedirection is called for the parsed program id.

RedierectProgramPath is then called for the program ID to set it to the input content path.

This then calls the implementation function for #LaunchProgram with the input pm launch flags and pgl launch flags = 0.

GetHostContentMetaInfo

This takes an input MapAlias buffer "content path", and does the same parsing as #LaunchProgramFromHost.

Instead of launching the program, it instead returns an 0x10 output #ContentMetaInfo from the parsed info.
