Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

binsider uses lurk as a library for dynamic analysis. lurk supports many arguments for tweaking the options, however it is not possible to use them in binsider as of now.

e.g. see the output of lurk -h:

  -n, --syscall-number               Display system call numbers
  -p, --attach <ATTACH>              Attach to a running process
  -v, --no-abbrev                    Print un-abbreviated versions of strings
  -s, --string-limit <STRING_LIMIT>  Maximum string argument size to print
<strip>

Describe the solution you'd like

Support these options, either via CLI or in the TUI.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine binsider's dynamic analysis module and lurk's Args struct; add new CLI flags or TUI options to pass arguments to lurk.
