class Database(handle)

Bases: object

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

get_snapshot(id: int) → Optional[Snapshot]

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

Get a specific global by key

Parameters

key (str) –

Return type

str

read_global_data(key: str) → DataBuffer

Get a specific global by key, as a binary buffer

Parameters

key (str) –

Return type

DataBuffer

remove_snapshot(id: int)

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)

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)

Write a global into the database

Parameters

• key (str) –

• value (str) –

write_global_data(key: str, value: DataBuffer)

Write a binary buffer into a global in the database

Parameters

• key (str) –

• value (DataBuffer) –
