ABOUT

IDAScript is a wrapper around IDA Pro that makes it easy to automate the execution of IDA scripts 
against target files from the command line.

This version of idascript is based on the original idascript from Hex-Rays, but is written in Python
for platform independance (disclaimer: currently only tested on Linux and OSX!).

For more information on idascript, see the original idascript utility here: http://www.hexblog.com/?p=128

INSTALL

To install, run the included install.py script. You will be prompted for the path to your IDA install directory,
You will typically need to run the install.py script as root/admin.

On Linux/OSX platforms, idascript will be installed the first directory listed in $PATH.

On Windows, idascript will be placed in the specified IDA install directory.

USAGE

IDAScript usage is very straight forward:

    $ idascript ./target.bin ./myscript.py arg1 arg2 arg3
    $ idascript --64 ./target64.bin ./myscript.py arg1 arg2 arg3

IDASCRIPT SCRIPTS

All IDAPython scripts intended for use with idascript must import the idascript Python module. If you want
IDA to exit when the script is finished, the script must also call idascript.exit when done. Example:

    import idascript

    print "I am an IDA script. My first command line argument is:", sys.argv[1]

    idascript.exit()

Scripts written in this manner can be used either through idascript utility or manually from inside the IDA GUI. 
The idascript module will detect when it is not being run via the idascript utility and will disable itself.
