Provides a command line interface (CLI) for executing IDC or IDAPython commands.
If closed, you can reopen it via Windows -> Output window.
Right-click in the Output window to access these options:
Select All: Selects all content in the window
Find/Find next: Searches for a specific string
Clear: Removes all previous messages from the window
Copy to CLI: Places selected text into CLI field
Save to file: Exports window content to a .log file
Show timestamps: Displays time information with each message
Font...: Customizes the text appearance (font, style, size)
