There are different commands to perform data and code analysis, to extract useful information from a binary, like pointers, string references, basic blocks, opcode data, jump targets, xrefs, etc.
These operations are handled by the a (analyze) command family:
|Usage: a[?adfFghoprsx]
| a8 [hexpairs] analyze bytes
| aa analyze all (fcns + bbs)
| ad analyze data trampoline (wip)
| ad [from] [to] analyze data pointers to (from-to)
| ae [expr] analyze opcode eval expression (see ao)
| af[rnbcsl?+-*] analyze Functions
| aF same as above, but using graph.depth=1
| ag[?acgdlf] output Graphviz code
| ah[?lba-] analysis hints (force opcode size, ...)
| ao[e?] [len] analyze Opcodes (or emulate it)
| ap find and analyze function preludes
| ar[?ld-*] manage refs/xrefs (see also afr?)
| as [num] analyze syscall using dbg.reg
| at[trd+-*?] [.] analyze execution Traces
|Examples:
| f ts @ `S*~text:0[3]`; f t @ section..text
| f ds @ `S*~data:0[3]`; f d @ section..data
| .ad t t+ts @ d:ds
