Calling a radare2 command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two ways to call a radare2 command:
There are multiple ways to call a radare2 command:
- ``CutterCore::cmd()`` *(Discouraged)* Only use it for commands which yells no output
- ``CutterCore::cmdj()`` To be used with json commands like ``cmdj("agj")`` or ``cmdj("aflj")``.
- ``CutterCore::cmdj(<command>)`` - To be used with json commands like ``cmdj("agj")`` or ``cmdj("aflj")``.
This is the command we used to fetch structured data from radare2.
- ``CutterCore::cmdRaw(<command>)`` - Executes a single radare2 command
without going through radare2 shell functionality like output redirects, grep, and multiple command parsing.
The command then returns its output. This should be used when a command doesn't have output or the output should be handled as-is. If possible, using the json variation with ``cmdj`` is always preferred.
- ``CutterCore::cmdRawAt(<command>, <address>)`` - Executes a single radare2 command in a given address and returns the output. This helps avoiding weird strings concatenation like ``cmd("ph " + hash + " @ " + QString::num(address))``.
- ``CutterCore::cmd()`` - *(Discouraged)* Only use it when ``cmdj`` or ``cmdRaw`` cannot be used. This is used for complex commands using concatenation of several commands (``px 5; pd 7; afl;``), for grepping (``pd 5~call``). for commands inside commands (``?e `afn.```) and so on.
This is also used when the output is complex and does not parsed correctly in ``cmdRaw``.
Make sure to carefully sanitize user-controlled variables that are passed to the command, to avoid unexpected command injections.
Generally, if one needs to retrieve information from a radare2 command, it
is preferred to use the json API.

Core()->seek(0x00C0FFEE);
.. note::
Cutter also supports a silent seek which doesn't trigger the ``seekChanged`` event and doesn't add new entries to the seek history.
