custom_data_types_and_formats

summary: custom data types & printers

description:

IDA can be extended to support certain data types that it does not know about out-of-the-box.

A ‘custom data type’ provide information about the type & size of a piece of data, while a ‘custom data format’ is in charge of formatting that data (there can be more than one format for a specific ‘custom data type’.)
