Batch operation

The decompiler supports the batch mode operation with the text and GUI versions of IDA Pro. All you need is to specify the -Ohexrays switch in the command line. The format of this switch is:

-Ohexrays:-option1:-option2:outfile:func1:func2...

The valid options are:

  • -new decompile only if output file does not exist
  • -errs send problematic databases to hex-rays.com
  • -mail=my@mail.com your email (meaningful if -errs option is used)

The output file name can be prepended with + to append to it. If the specified file extension is invalid, .c will be used.

The functions can be specified by their addresses or names. The ALL keyword means all non-library functions. For example:

idaw -Ohexrays:-errs:-mail=john@mail.com:outfile:ALL -A input

will decompile all nonlibrary functions to outfile.c. In the case of an error, the .idb file will be sent to hex-rays.com. The -A switch is necessary so avoid the initial dialog boxes.
