• Reset workspace and delete all projects and CPGs

// warning, highly destructive action
ocular> workspace.reset

importCode

• Import code using a specific language frontend

ocular> importCode.c("/path/to/vlc-3.0.8")
ocular> importCode.java("/path/to/a.jar")
...

• Import code from string

ocular> importCode.c.fromString("int main() { return 0; } ")

importCpg

• Import Code Property Graph for analysis

ocular> importCpg("/path/to/cpg.bin.zip")

cpg

• Cpg of the active project

ocular> cpg

project

• Currently active project

ocular> project

open

• Open project by name

ocular> open("project-name")

close

• Close project by name

ocular> close("project-name")

ocular> undo 
res3: better.files.File = /home/user/.shiftleft/ocular/workspace/x42-java/overlays/dataflow

regenerateCacheOnNextLoad

Applies to Ocular only

• create new policy cache on next load/import

• use e.g. if you edited the policy text files - on first usage they are being converted to an efficient binary format, which is being cached

ocular> regenerateCacheOnNextLoad

Applies to Ocular only

• Reload policies

ocular> reloadPolicy 
Loading dynamic policies from /home/user/.shiftleft/ocular/policy/dynamic/jvm
Loading static policies from /home/user/.shiftleft/ocular/policy/static

config

• Print the Ocular installation path

ocular> config.install.rootPath 
res0: better.files.File = /home/user/.shiftleft/ocular

version

• Print the Ocular version

ocular> version 
res0: String = "0.3.114"

banner

• Print the 1337 Ocular banner

ocular> banner
