Function Documentation

get_segm_class()

idaman ssize_t ida_export get_segm_class	(	qstring *	buf,
		const segment_t *	s
	)

Get segment class.

Segment class is arbitrary text (max 8 characters).

Parameters

buf	output buffer. cannot be nullptr.
s	pointer to segment

Returns

size of segment class (-1 if s==nullptr or bufsize<=0)

set_segm_class()

idaman int ida_export set_segm_class	(	segment_t *	s,
		const char *	sclass,
		int	flags = 0
	)

Set segment class.

Parameters

s	pointer to segment (may be nullptr)
sclass	segment class (may be nullptr). If segment type is SEG_NORM and segment class is one of predefined names, then segment type is changed to: "CODE" -> SEG_CODE "DATA" -> SEG_DATA "STACK" -> SEG_BSS "BSS" -> SEG_BSS if "UNK" then segment type is reset to SEG_NORM.
flags	Add segment flags

Return values

1	ok, name is good and segment is renamed
0	failure, name is nullptr or bad or segment is nullptr

segtype()

idaman uchar ida_export segtype

(

ea_t

ea

)

Get segment type.

Parameters

ea	any linear address within the segment

Returns

Segment types, SEG_UNDF if no segment found at 'ea'
