.bqrs file

A binary query result set (BQRS) file. BQRS is the binary representation of the raw result of a query, with the extension .bqrs. A BQRS file can be interpreted into meaningful results and related to your source code. For example, alert query results are interpreted to display a string at the location in the source code where the alert occurs, as specified in the query. Similarly, path query results are interpreted as pairs of locations (sources and sinks) between which information can flow. These results can be exported as a variety of different formats, including SARIF.
