Is there an API for Apply patched bytes to input file?

IDA General

Hi,

The title says it all. Is there an API call to save the patched bytes into the inputfile.
There is a menu entry but is the actual call exposed?

I haven’t found any way to do it directly but you can call idc.gen_file() to generate a DIF file that is the difference and then use a thirdparty program to actually make the modifications. I have written a replacement for idc.gen_file on Github: community_base.py

Perhaps patching/plugins/patching/util/ida.py at f7902033f9c2be9ea71017ce9eb13691906cc858 · gaasedelen/patching · GitHub could help you.
