) -> Generator[int, None, None]

Search inferior memory for a byte sequence.

Parameters:

• searchfor (bytes) –

  Byte sequence to find

• mappings (Collection[Page] | None, default: None ) –

  List of pwndbg.lib.memory.Page objects to search By default, uses all available mappings.

• start (int | None, default: None ) –

  First address to search, inclusive.

• end (int | None, default: None ) –

  Last address to search, exclusive.

• step (int | None, default: None ) –

  Size of memory region to skip each result

• aligned (int | None, default: None ) –

  Strict byte alignment for search result

• limit (int | None, default: None ) –

  Maximum number of results to return

• executable (bool, default: False ) –

  Restrict search to executable pages

• writable (bool, default: False ) –

  Restrict search to writable pages

Yields:

• int –

  An iterator on the address matches
