# IDC

IDC is an IDA native, embedded scripting language semantically similar to C/C++.

## Typical use cases

With IDC, you can write simple scripts for automating repetitive tasks and extending out-of-the-box IDA functionality (for example, for getting the list of all functions or marked positions) without creating more complex plugins with C++ SDK or IDAPython.
