Instance Method Details

#compile_file(filename, ns = nil) ⇒ nil

Compiles rules taken from a file by its filename. This method can be called more than once using multiple rules strings and can be used in combination with compile_file.

To avoid namespace conflicts, you can use set_namespace before compiling rules.

Returns:

  • (nil)

Parameters:

  • filename (String)

    The name of a yara rules file to compile.

  • ns (String, nil)

    Optional namespace for the rules.

Raises:

#compile_string(rules_string, ns = nil) ⇒ nil

Compiles rules taken from a ruby string. This method can be called more than once using multiple rules strings and can be used in combination with compile_file.

To avoid namespace conflicts, you can set a namespace using the optional ‘ns’ argument.

Returns:

  • (nil)

Parameters:

  • rules_string (String)

    A string containing yara rules text.

  • ns (String, nil)

    An optional namespace for the rules.

#set_namespace(name) ⇒ nil

Sets the current namespace to the given name. If the namespace does not yet exist it is added.

To avoid namespace conflicts, you can use set_namespace before compiling rules.
