## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ execute_line

bool(idaapi * cli_t::execute_line) (const char *line)

Callback: the user pressed Enter.

CLI is free to execute the line immediately or ask for more lines.

Parameters

  line | command to execute (utf-8-encoded)

Return values

  true | executed line
  false | ask for more lines

## ◆ keydown

bool(idaapi * cli_t::keydown) (qstring *line, int *p_x, int *p_sellen, int *p_vk_key, int shift)

Callback: a keyboard key has been pressed.

This callback is optional. It is a generic callback and the CLI is free to do whatever it wants.

Parameters

  line | current input line (in/out argument)
  p_x | pointer to current x coordinate of the cursor (in/out)
  p_sellen | pointer to current selection length (usually 0)
  p_vk_key | pointer to virtual key code (in/out). if the key has been handled, it should be reset to 0 by CLI
  shift | shift state

Return values

  true | modified input line or x coordinate or selection length
  false | otherwise

## ◆ find_completions

bool(idaapi * cli_t::find_completions) (qstrvec_t *out_completions, int *out_match_start, int *out_match_end, const char *line, int x)

Callback: the user pressed Tab/Shift+Tab.

This callback is optional.

Parameters

  [out] | out_completions | results of completion
  [out] | out_match_start | the codepoint index in the line, where match starts
  [out] | out_match_end | the codepoint index in the line, where ends ends
  | line | command line
  | x | codepoint index of the cursor in line

Return values

  true | got results
  false | otherwise
