API Reference: Automating Analysis With r2pipe
Overview
scripts/analyst.py drives radare2/rizin static analysis through r2pipe: it runs aaa and collects
functions (aflj), imports (iij), and strings (izj) as JSON. r2pipe is optional; check
reports availability. It drives static analysis commands only and does not run the sample in a
debugger.
