Description

A feature for isolating a function in a Binary Ninja database would be useful. This feature would be useful for bug reporting or files that should be stay confidential.

For example, Binary Ninja could generate a separate bndb for the function we want to be isolated and could saves new database with the function name. This way, instead of sharing a binary, we can share an isolated Binary Ninja database.

Research direction

The issue describes exporting an isolated function into a separate Binary Ninja database, but names no files, tests, entry points, format, or acceptance criteria. Start by reviewing the database-related API and clarifying how function dependencies, analysis state, and the output filename should be handled. Done means a confidential function can be shared as a usable standalone database.
