database module¶

`binaryninja.database.Database`(handle)	`class Database` provides lower level access to raw snapshot data used to construct analysis data
`binaryninja.database.KeyValueStore`([buffer, ...])	`class KeyValueStore` maintains access to the raw data stored in Snapshots and various other Database-related structures.
`binaryninja.database.Snapshot`(handle)	`class Snapshot` is a model of an individual database snapshot, created on save.

class Database(handle)[source]¶

Bases: object

class Database provides lower level access to raw snapshot data used to construct analysis data

get_snapshot(id: int) → Optional[Snapshot][source]¶

Get a snapshot by its id, or None if no snapshot with that id exists

Parameters:: id (int) –
Return type:: Optional[Snapshot]

read_global(key: str) → str[source]¶

Get a specific global by key

Parameters:: key (str) –
Return type:: str

read_global_data(key: str) → DataBuffer[source]¶

Get a specific global by key, as a binary buffer

Parameters:: key (str) –
Return type:: DataBuffer

remove_snapshot(id: int)[source]¶

Remove a snapshot in the database by id, deleting its contents and references. Attempting to remove a snapshot with children will raise an exception.

Parameters:: id (int) –

trim_snapshot(id: int)[source]¶

Trim a snapshot’s contents in the database by id, but leave the parent/child hierarchy intact. Future references to this snapshot will return False for has_contents

Parameters:: id (int) –

write_global(key: str, value: str)[source]¶

Write a global into the database

Parameters:

key (str) –
value (str) –

write_global_data(key: str, value: DataBuffer)[source]¶

Write a binary buffer into a global in the database

Parameters:

key (str) –
value (DataBuffer) –

property snapshots: List[Snapshot]¶: Get a list of all snapshots in the database (read-only)

class KeyValueStore(buffer: Optional[DataBuffer] = None, handle=None)[source]¶

Bases: object

class KeyValueStore maintains access to the raw data stored in Snapshots and various other Database-related structures.

Parameters:: buffer (Optional[DataBuffer]) –

begin_namespace(name: str)[source]¶

Begin storing new keys into a namespace

Parameters:: name (str) –

end_namespace()[source]¶: End storing new keys into a namespace

get_value(key: str) → DataBuffer[source]¶

Get the value for a single key

Parameters:: key (str) –
Return type:: DataBuffer

set_value(key: str, value: DataBuffer)[source]¶

Set the value for a single key

Parameters:

key (str) –
value (DataBuffer) –

property value_size: bool¶: Number of values in the kvs (read-only)

property value_storage_size: bool¶: Size of all data in storage (read-only)

class Snapshot(handle)[source]¶

Bases: object

class Snapshot is a model of an individual database snapshot, created on save.

has_ancestor(other: Snapshot) → bool[source]¶

property first_parent: Optional[Snapshot]¶: Get the first parent of the snapshot, or None if it has no parents (read-only)

property has_contents: bool¶: If the snapshot has contents, and has not been trimmed (read-only)

property has_undo: bool¶: If the snapshot has undo data (read-only)

property id: int¶: Get the numerical id (read-only)

property is_auto_save: bool¶: If the snapshot was the result of an auto-save (read-only)
