        Appcall_callable__


Helper class to issue appcalls using a natural syntax:
  appcall.FunctionNameInTheDatabase(arguments, ....)
or
  appcall["Function@8"](arguments, ...)
or
  f8 = appcall["Function@8"]
  f8(arg1, arg2, ...)
or
  o = appcall.obj()
  i = byref(5)
  appcall.funcname(arg1, i, "hello", o)

Instance Methods

__init__(self, ea, tp=None, fld=None)
Initializes an appcall with a given function ea

__call__(self, *args)
Make object callable.

size(self)
Returns the size of the type

type(self)
Returns the typestring

fields(self)
Returns the field names

retrieve(self, src=None, flags=0)
Unpacks a typed object from the database if an ea is given or from a string if a string was passed

store(self, obj, dest_ea=None, base_ea=0, flags=0)
Packs an object into a given ea if provided or into a string if no address was passed.

Inherited from object: __delattr__, __getattribute__, __hash__, __new__, __reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __repr__, __setattr__, __str__

Class Variables
	timeout = `property(__get_timeout, __set_timeout)` An Appcall instance can change its timeout value with this attribute
	options = `property(__get_options, __set_options)` Sets the Appcall options locally to this Appcall instance
	ea = `property(__get_ea, __set_ea)` Returns or sets the EA associated with this object

Properties
Inherited from `object`: `__class__`
