binaryninja.binaryview.BinaryReader¶

class BinaryReader(view, endian=None)[source]¶

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'
>>>

__init__(view, endian=None)[source]¶: x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Methods

`__init__`(view[, endian])	x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
`read`(length)	`read` returns `length` bytes read from the current offset, adding `length` to offset.
`read16`()	`read16` returns a two byte integer from offset incrementing the offset by two, using specified endianness.
`read16be`()	`read16be` returns a two byte big endian integer from offset incrementing the offset by two.
`read16le`()	`read16le` returns a two byte little endian integer from offset incrementing the offset by two.
`read32`()	`read32` returns a four byte integer from offset incrementing the offset by four, using specified endianness.
`read32be`()	`read32be` returns a four byte big endian integer from offset incrementing the offset by four.
`read32le`()	`read32le` returns a four byte little endian integer from offset incrementing the offset by four.
`read64`()	`read64` returns an eight byte integer from offset incrementing the offset by eight, using specified endianness.
`read64be`()	`read64be` returns an eight byte big endian integer from offset incrementing the offset by eight.
`read64le`()	`read64le` returns an eight byte little endian integer from offset incrementing the offset by eight.
`read8`()	`read8` returns a one byte integer from offset 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).
