Raw

The Raw plugin accesses the most fundamental information about the binary file, and are currently executed almost exclusively using Python standard library functions, e.g. os.stat().

get_name simply parses the string which was passed as the path to the file to load, and returns only the file name, excluding the path.

get_path is analogous to get_name, but returns only the path to the file, excluding the file name.

get_extension function simply parses the file path string and returns the file's extension (or nothing, if the file does not have one).

get_size returns the size of the currently loaded file in bytes.

get_inode returns the inode of the currently loaded file.

*get_{md5,sha1,sha256,sha512} are multiple functions to get the checksums of the current file using various hashing algorithms

read_chunk reads a section of the original byte stream from the file. The default chunk size is 4096 bytes, but that can be changed by passing the function an integer.
