IDA Pro rocks. If only there was good documentation for the API...
| Function | Purpose |

| get_func(address) | returns a function object (func_t) of the current memory location |
| Chunks(function,address) | |
| LocByName(name) | locates and returns the address of name |
| XrefTypeName(type) | returns a string describing the xreference type |
| Name(address) | returns the name associated with an address |
| Names() | returns a list tuples of all names and addresses |
| DecodeInstruction(address) | returns an instruction (inst_t) object relating to the decoded object |
| Flowchart(address,[flags=flags]) | returns a flowchart object that can be iterated through, returning BasicBlock objects. Note: if you want the predecessors of the BasicBlocks to be generated, use flags=FC_PREDS in constructor |
| Segment related Functions | |

| FirstSeg() | Returns address of first segement |
| Segments() | Returns collection of starting addresses of all segement |
| NextSeg() | Returns address of first segement, returns BADADDR when none are left |

| Useful classes | |
| segment_t | Segment Class |
| func_t | Function Class |
| insn_t | Instruction Class |
| BasicBlock | BasicBlock Class |
xref.type == fl_CN is Code_Near_Call
xref.type == fl_CF is code_Far_Call
use XrefTypeName(type) to determine the type
