Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2019-0cc15b9817
2019-04-08 00:00:45.302703
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : bifcl
Product : Fedora 30
Version : 1.1
Release : 1.fc30
URL :
https://github.com/zeek/bifcl
Summary : A built-in-function (BIF) compiler/generator
Description :
The bifcl program simply takes a .bif file as input and generates C++
header/source files along with a .bro script that all-together provide the
declaration and implementation of Bro/Zeek built-in-functions (BIFs), which
can then be compiled and shipped ss part of a Bro/Zeek plugin.
A BIF allows one to write arbitrary C++ code and access it via a function
call inside a Bro script. In this way, they can also be used to access parts
of Bro/Zeek's internal C++ API that aren't already exposed via their own BIFs.
At the moment, learning the format of a .bif file is likely easiest by just
taking a look at the .bif files inside the Bro/Zeek source-tree.
