class BackgroundTask(initial_progress_text='', can_cancel=False, handle=None)

Bases: object

The BackgroundTask class provides a mechanism for reporting progress of an optionally cancelable task to the user via the status bar in the UI. If can_cancel is is True, then the task can be cancelled either programmatically (via cancel) or by the user via the UI.

Note this class does not provide a means to execute a task, which is available via the BackgroundTaskThread class.

Parameters:

• initial_progress_text – text description of the task to display in the status bar in the UI, defaults to “”

• can_cancel – whether to enable cancellation of the task, defaults to False

cancel()

finish()

property can_cancel

Whether the task can be cancelled (read-only)

property cancelled

Whether the task has been cancelled

property finished

Whether the task has finished

property progress

Text description of the progress of the background task (displayed in status bar of the UI)

class BackgroundTaskThread(initial_progress_text: str = '', can_cancel: bool = False)

Bases: BackgroundTask

The BackgroundTaskThread class provides an all-in-one solution for executing a BackgroundTask in a thread.

See the BackgroundTask for additional information.

Parameters:

• initial_progress_text (str) – text description of the task to display in the status bar in the UI, defaults to “”

• can_cancel (bool) – whether to enable cancellation of the task, defaults to False

class PluginCommand(cmd)

Bases: object

The class PluginCommand contains all the plugin registration methods as class methods.

You shouldn’t need to create an instance of this class, instead see register, register_for_address, register_for_function, and similar class methods for examples on how to register your plugin.

execute(context)

execute Execute a plugin. See the example in PluginCommandContext

Parameters:

context (str) – PluginCommandContext to pass the PluginCommand

Return type:

None

>>> ctx = PluginCommandContext(bv);
>>> PluginCommand.get_valid_list(ctx)[r'PDB\Load'].execute(ctx)

classmethod get_valid_list(context)

Dict of registered plugins

is_valid(context)

classmethod register(name: str, description: str, action: Callable[[BinaryView], None], is_valid: Callable[[BinaryView], bool] | None = None)

register Register a plugin

Parameters:

• name (str) – name of the plugin (use ‘Folder\Name’ to have the menu item nested in a folder)

• description (str) – description of the plugin

• action (callback) – function to call with the BinaryView as an argument

• is_valid (callback) – optional argument of a function passed a BinaryView to determine whether the plugin should be enabled for that view

Return type:

None

Example:

>>> def my_plugin(bv: BinaryView):
>>>     log_info(f"My plugin was called on bv: `{bv}`")
>>> PluginCommand.register("My Plugin", "My plugin description (not used)", my_plugin)
True
>>> def is_valid(bv: BinaryView) -> bool:
>>>     return False
>>> PluginCommand.register("My Plugin (With Valid Function)", "My plugin description (not used)", my_plugin, is_valid)
True

Warning

Calling register with the same function name will replace the existing function but will leak the memory of the original plugin.

classmethod register_for_address(name: str, description: str, action: Callable[[BinaryView, int], None], is_valid: Callable[[BinaryView, int], bool] | None = None)

register_for_address Register a plugin to be called with an address argument

Parameters:
