Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Collection<LoadSpec>	findSupportedLoadSpecs(ByteProvider provider)	If this Loader supports loading the given ByteProvider, this methods returns a Collection of all supported LoadSpecs that contain discovered load specification information that this Loader will need to load.
List<Option>	getDefaultOptions(ByteProvider provider, LoadSpec loadSpec, DomainObject domainObject, boolean loadIntoProgram, boolean mirrorFsLayout)	Gets the default Loader options.
String	getName()	Gets the Loader's name, which is used both for display purposes, and to identify the Loader in the opinion files.
String	getPreferredFileName(ByteProvider provider)	The preferred file name to use when loading.
LoaderTier	getTier()	For ordering purposes; lower tier numbers are more important (and listed first).
int	getTierPriority()	For ordering purposes; lower numbers are more important (and listed first, within its tier).
LoadResults<? extends DomainObject>	load(Loader.ImporterSettings settings)	Loads bytes in a particular format as a new Loaded DomainObject.
void	loadInto(Program program, Loader.ImporterSettings settings)	Loads bytes into the specified Program.
String	validateOptions(ByteProvider provider, LoadSpec loadSpec, List<Option> options, Program program)	Validates the Loader's options and returns null if all options are valid; otherwise, an error message describing the problem is returned.

Method Details

getDefaultOptions

public List<Option> getDefaultOptions(ByteProvider provider,
 LoadSpec loadSpec,
 DomainObject domainObject,
 boolean loadIntoProgram,
 boolean mirrorFsLayout)

Description copied from interface: Loader

Gets the default Loader options.

Specified by:

getDefaultOptions in interface Loader

Parameters:

provider - The bytes of the thing being loaded.

loadSpec - The LoadSpec.

domainObject - The DomainObject being loaded.

loadIntoProgram - True if the load is adding to an existing DomainObject; otherwise, false.

mirrorFsLayout - True if the filesystem layout should be mirrored when loading; otherwise, false

Returns:

A list of the Loader's default options.

load

public LoadResults<? extends DomainObject> load(Loader.ImporterSettings settings)
                                         throws IOException,
CancelledException,
VersionException

Description copied from interface: Loader

Loads bytes in a particular format as a new Loaded DomainObject. Multiple DomainObjects may end up getting created, depending on the nature of the format. The Loaded DomainObjects are bundled together in a LoadResults object which provides convenience methods to operate on the entire group of Loaded DomainObjects.

Note that when the load completes, the returned Loaded DomainObjects are not saved to a project. That is the responsibility of the caller (see LoadResults.save(TaskMonitor)).

It is also the responsibility of the caller to close the returned Loaded DomainObjects with LoadResults.close() when they are no longer needed.

Specified by:

load in interface Loader

Parameters:

settings - The Loader.ImporterSettings.

Returns:

The LoadResults which contains one or more Loaded DomainObjects (created but not saved).

Throws:

IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.

CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.

VersionException - if the load process tried to open an existing DomainFile which was created with a newer or unsupported version of Ghidra

loadInto

public void loadInto(Program program,
 Loader.ImporterSettings settings)
              throws IOException,
LoadException,
CancelledException

Description copied from interface: Loader

Loads bytes into the specified Program. This method will not create any new Programs. It is only for adding to an existing Program.

Specified by:

loadInto in interface Loader

Parameters:

program - The Program to load into.

settings - The Loader.ImporterSettings.

Throws:

IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.

LoadException - if the load failed in an expected way.

CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.

validateOptions

public String validateOptions(ByteProvider provider,
 LoadSpec loadSpec,
 List<Option> options,
 Program program)

Description copied from interface: Loader

Validates the Loader's options and returns null if all options are valid; otherwise, an error message describing the problem is returned.

Specified by:

validateOptions in interface Loader

Parameters:

provider - The bytes of the thing being loaded.

loadSpec - The proposed LoadSpec.

options - The list of Options to validate.

program - existing program if the loader is adding to an existing program. If it is a fresh import, then this will be null.

Returns:

null if all Options are valid; otherwise, an error message describing the problem is returned.

findSupportedLoadSpecs

public Collection<LoadSpec> findSupportedLoadSpecs(ByteProvider provider)
                                            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Loader

If this Loader supports loading the given ByteProvider, this methods returns a Collection of all supported LoadSpecs that contain discovered load specification information that this Loader will need to load. If this Loader cannot support loading the given ByteProvider, an empty Collection is returned.

Specified by:

findSupportedLoadSpecs in interface Loader

Parameters:

provider - The bytes being loaded.

Returns:

A Collection of LoadSpecs that this Loader supports loading, or an empty Collection if this Loader doesn't support loading the given ByteProvider.

Throws:

IOException - if there was an IO-related issue finding the LoadSpecs.

getPreferredFileName

public String getPreferredFileName(ByteProvider provider)

Description copied from interface: Loader

The preferred file name to use when loading.

The default behavior of this method is to return the (cleaned up) name of the given ByteProvider.

NOTE: This method may get called frequently, so only parse the given ByteProvider if absolutely necessary.

Specified by:

getPreferredFileName in interface Loader

Parameters:

provider - The bytes to load.

Returns:

The preferred file name to use when loading, or null if a name could not be determined from the provider.

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Loader

Gets the Loader's name, which is used both for display purposes, and to identify the Loader in the opinion files.

Specified by:

getName in interface Loader

Returns:

The Loader's name.

getTier

public LoaderTier getTier()

Description copied from interface: Loader

For ordering purposes; lower tier numbers are more important (and listed first).

Specified by:

getTier in interface Loader

Returns:

the tier of the loader

getTierPriority

public int getTierPriority()

Description copied from interface: Loader

For ordering purposes; lower numbers are more important (and listed first, within its tier).

Specified by:

getTierPriority in interface Loader

Returns:

the ordering of the loader within its tier
