Script header

A script header contains some metadata:

└╼[silma@myrtille:$ cat helloworld.py 

#@author 
#@category _MyScripts
#@keybinding 
#@menupath

print("Hello from PyGhidra!")

• The #@category is the name under which the script will be found
• Once the script is created:
  • In the Script Manager window, clic on the ‘refresh’ button
  • The new category (here _MyScripts) should appear in the left pane
  • Select the category, then the script (right pane), and Clic on the ‘Run Script’ button
• If everything went well, the output should be visible in the ‘Console - Scripting’ window
