Package pe implements access to PE (Microsoft Windows Portable Executable) files.

# Security

This package is not designed to be hardened against adversarial inputs, and is
outside the scope of https://go.dev/security/policy. In particular, only basic
validation is done when parsing object files. As such, care should be taken when
parsing untrusted inputs, as parsing malformed files may consume significant
resources, or cause panics.
