Member Function Documentation

mechanism()

Mechanism Rose::BinaryAnalysis::MagicNumber::mechanism ( ) const

inline

Property: The mechanism being used to find magic numbers.

Multiple machanisms are available:

• If the libmagic library is available then that mechanism is used the the return value is FAST.

• If libmagic is not available and this is a Unix machine, then the file(1) command is invoked on a temporary file. The return value in this case is SLOW.

• If this is Windows and the libmagic library is not available then the return value is NONE. In this case, all calls to identify will throw a std::runtime_error.

This property is read-only.

maxBytesToCheck() [1/2]

size_t Rose::BinaryAnalysis::MagicNumber::maxBytesToCheck ( ) const

inline

Property: Max number of bytes to check at once.

This property is the maximum number of bytes that should be passed at once to the magic-number checking funtions. The library imposes a hard-coded limit, but the user may set this to a lower value to gain speed. Trying to set this to a higher value than the hard-coded limit will result in using the hard-coded limit.
