Python: Truncated output from r2.cmd #54

Hi,

I am testing r2pipe in Python and i have a case where the url that open generates a lot of output.
The rest of my script attempt to run pd 10 and get the result:

r2 = r2pipe.open(url, ['-d'])
output = r2.cmd("pd 10")
logging.info(output)
r2.cmd('q!')

When logging prints the content of output, the output appears to have been truncated:

Intercep

As you can see the last line is Intercep, and this whole output is the one from the open method.
So there is a limit somewhere in the buffer returned by r2.cmd, which prevents me from receiving the complete output of my commands.

can you len(output) to see if thats a magic value like 4096 or so?

are you printing any \x00 nullbyte?

@radare interesting, the output is always almost a magic size:

either this:

INFO:root:output len: 4095

or this value:

INFO:root:output len: 8191

@radare no, i'm not printing any buffer, just strings.
this works fine with r2.

For example, if i try to intercept the kernel process (the one which is the most frequently scheduled),
the script is working and i have pd 10 output:

len(output) here is 3457

Here:

What url are you using? Can't reproduce using process.

@quim0 i'm developing a debugger plugin based on virtual machine introspection:
Here: https://github.com/Wenzel/radare2-extras/blob/python/vmi/r2vmi.py#L47

Ask me if you want to test a script or a behavior :)

Are you sure you're not printing any nullbytes?
Because I still can't reproduce. I've not used your plugin with qemu yet, but I'm able to print >15K characters with it without any problem, so idk if this is related to r2pipe.

>> import r2pipe
>> r = r2pipe.open('vmi://foo:1234')
>> print len(r.cmd('px 0x10000'))

hmm, if you would print a nullbyte, the buffer length would not be a magic number like 4095 in my opinion.

Thank you for investigating.
I will take a look next week if i can

Hello, you know it's the week-end don't you :)

but anyway:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 stable
Python 3.5.2

I made a video to demonstrate how it happens:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D8Zj2MB35y3lq7MxcpVgC4CJmvDSxkdH/view?usp=sharing

Also note that i'm opening the url with the -d flag, to enable the debugging mode.

We should have seen a pd 10 output being printed.

r2pipe script i'm using

    r2_url = "vmi://{}:{}".format(vm_name,target)
    r2 = r2pipe.open(r2_url, ["-d"])
    output = r2.cmd('pd 10')
    logging.info(output)
    logging.info("size of output: %s", len(output))

Thanks guys !
