Package rekall :: Module io_manager

Module io_manager

IO Abstraction for Rekall.

Since Rekall is a library it should never directly access files: it may be running on an environment which has no filesystem access for example, or the files may be stored in an unusual way.

In order to ensure that the file storage mechanism does not need to be hardcoded in each module, Rekall has an abstracted filesystem access mechanism implemented through the IO Manager.

The session object should contain an instance of the IOManager() class at the io_manager attribute, which will be used to create new files, or read from existing files.
