-run this script from within IDA to test the IDA feature extractor.
-you must have loaded a file referenced by a test case in order
-for this to do anything meaningful. for example, mimikatz.exe from testfiles.
-
-you can invoke from the command line like this:
-
-    & 'C:\\Program Files\\IDA Pro 8.2\\idat.exe' \
-        -S"C:\\Exclusions\\code\\capa\\tests\\test_ida_features.py --CAPA_AUTOEXIT=true" \
-        -A \
-        -Lidalog \
-        'C:\\Exclusions\\code\\capa\\tests\\data\\mimikatz.exe_'
-
-if you invoke from the command line, and provide the script argument `--CAPA_AUTOEXIT=true`,
-then the script will exit IDA after running the tests.
-
-the output (in idalog) will look like this:
-
-```
-Loading processor module C:\\Program Files\\IDA Pro 8.2\\procs\\pc.dll for metapc...Initializing processor module metapc...OK
-Loading type libraries...
-Autoanalysis subsystem has been initialized.
-Database for file 'mimikatz.exe_' has been loaded.
