# binaryninja.binaryview.BinaryReader

class `binaryninja.binaryview.``BinaryReader`(view, endian=None)

  `class BinaryReader` is a convenience class for reading binary data.

  BinaryReader can be instantiated as follows and the rest of the document will start from this context

      >>> from binaryninja import *
      >>> bv = BinaryViewType['Mach-O'].open("/bin/ls")
      >>> br = BinaryReader(bv)
      >>> hex(br.read32())
      '0xfeedfacfL'
      >>>

  Or using the optional endian parameter

      >>> from binaryninja import *
      >>> br = BinaryReader(bv, Endianness.BigEndian)
      >>> hex(br.read32())
      '0xcffaedfeL'
      >>>

  Methods

  `__init__`(view[, endian]) |
  `read`(length) | `read` returns `length` bytes read from the current offset, adding `length` to offset.
  `read16`() | `read16` returns a two byte integer from offet incrementing the offset by two, using specified endianness.
  `read16be`() | `read16be` returns a two byte big endian integer from offet incrementing the offset by two.
  `read16le`() | `read16le` returns a two byte little endian integer from offet incrementing the offset by two.
  `read32`() | `read32` returns a four byte integer from offet incrementing the offset by four, using specified endianness.
  `read32be`() | `read32be` returns a four byte big endian integer from offet incrementing the offset by four.
  `read32le`() | `read32le` returns a four byte little endian integer from offet incrementing the offset by four.
  `read64`() | `read64` returns an eight byte integer from offet incrementing the offset by eight, using specified endianness.
  `read64be`() | `read64be` returns an eight byte big endian integer from offet incrementing the offset by eight.
  `read64le`() | `read64le` returns an eight byte little endian integer from offet incrementing the offset by eight.
  `read8`() | `read8` returns a one byte integer from offet incrementing the offset.
  `seek`(offset) | `seek` update internal offset to `offset`.
  `seek_relative`(offset) | `seek_relative` updates the internal offset by `offset`.

  Attributes

  `endianness` | The Endianness to read data.
  `eof` | Is end of file (read-only)
  `offset` | The current read offset (read/write).
