What is the exporting folder "sootOutput" ? #25

I use ic3-0.2.0-bin and dare to analyze some Android apk, and obtain a great deal of information about inter-component communication in exporting file "(specified path -out)/(packagename)_.txt".

When I get a new folder "sootOutput" in ./ when I run the ic3 cmd as follow:

java -jar ../ic3-0.2.0/ic3-0.2.0-full.jar -apkormanifest ./1.apk -input ./out/retargeted/1 -cp ../ic3-0.2.0/android.jar -out ./out2 -protobuf ./out2

The "sootOutput" always be empty iin my test, so I can't makesure the use of this folder. Do it will have some output files in certain special cases?

Thanks.

No, this is something that is created by Soot by default, this is not useful for inter-component communication.
