Jon Siwek 7e9d48f532 Remove broxygen Sphinx integration
The broxygen-generated files now live in the git repo, have tests
that check that they are up-to-date, and a script to re-generate
them on-demand.

=================================
.. bro:namespace:: Analyzer
Framework for managing Bro's protocol analyzers.
The analyzer framework allows to dynamically enable or disable analyzers, as
well as to manage the well-known ports which automatically activate a
particular analyzer for new connections.
Protocol analyzers are identified by unique tags of type
:bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`, such as :bro:enum:`Analyzer::ANALYZER_HTTP`.
These tags are defined internally by
the analyzers themselves, and documented in their analyzer-specific
description along with the events that they generate.

State Variables
###############
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::disable_all
:Type: :bro:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``F``
If true, all available analyzers are initially disabled at startup.
One can then selectively enable them with
:bro:id:`Analyzer::enable_analyzer`.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::disabled_analyzers
:Type: :bro:type:`set` [:bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`]
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default:
::
{
Analyzer::ANALYZER_BACKDOOR,
Analyzer::ANALYZER_INTERCONN,
Analyzer::ANALYZER_TCPSTATS,
Analyzer::ANALYZER_STEPPINGSTONE
}
A set of analyzers to disable by default at startup. The default set
contains legacy analyzers that are no longer supported.
Functions
#########
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::all_registered_ports
:Type: :bro:type:`function` () : :bro:type:`table` [:bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`] of :bro:type:`set` [:bro:type:`port`]
Returns a table of all ports-to-analyzer mappings currently registered.
:returns: A table mapping each analyzer to the set of ports
registered for it.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::analyzer_to_bpf
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (tag: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`) : :bro:type:`string`
Automatically creates a BPF filter for the specified protocol based
on the data supplied for the protocol through the
:bro:see:`Analyzer::register_for_ports` function.
:tag: The analyzer tag.
:returns: BPF filter string.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::disable_analyzer
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (tag: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`) : :bro:type:`bool`
Disables an analyzer. Once disabled, the analyzer will not be used
further for analysis of future connections.
:tag: The tag of the analyzer to disable.
:returns: True if the analyzer was successfully disabled.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::enable_analyzer
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (tag: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`) : :bro:type:`bool`
Enables an analyzer. Once enabled, the analyzer may be used for analysis
of future connections as decided by Bro's dynamic protocol detection.
:tag: The tag of the analyzer to enable.
:returns: True if the analyzer was successfully enabled.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::get_bpf
:Type: :bro:type:`function` () : :bro:type:`string`
Create a BPF filter which matches all of the ports defined
by the various protocol analysis scripts as "registered ports"
for the protocol.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::get_tag
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (name: :bro:type:`string`) : :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`
Translates an analyzer's name to a tag enum value.
:name: The analyzer name.
:returns: The analyzer tag corresponding to the name.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::name
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (atype: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`) : :bro:type:`string`
Translates an analyzer type to a string with the analyzer's name.
:tag: The analyzer tag.
:returns: The analyzer name corresponding to the tag.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::register_for_port
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (tag: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`, p: :bro:type:`port`) : :bro:type:`bool`
Registers an individual well-known port for an analyzer. If a future
connection on this port is seen, the analyzer will be automatically
assigned to parsing it. The function *adds* to all ports already
registered, it doesn't replace them.
:tag: The tag of the analyzer.
:p: The well-known port to associate with the analyzer.
:returns: True if the port was successfully registered.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::register_for_ports
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (tag: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`, ports: :bro:type:`set` [:bro:type:`port`]) : :bro:type:`bool`
Registers a set of well-known ports for an analyzer. If a future
connection on one of these ports is seen, the analyzer will be
automatically assigned to parsing it. The function *adds* to all ports
already registered, it doesn't replace them.
:tag: The tag of the analyzer.
:ports: The set of well-known ports to associate with the analyzer.
:returns: True if the ports were successfully registered.
.. bro:id:: Analyzer::registered_ports
:Type: :bro:type:`function` (tag: :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`) : :bro:type:`set` [:bro:type:`port`]
Returns a set of all well-known ports currently registered for a
specific analyzer.
:tag: The tag of the analyzer.
:returns: The set of ports.

Schedules an analyzer for a future connection originating from a
given IP address and port.
:orig: The IP address originating a connection in the future.
0.0.0.0 can be used as a wildcard to match any originator address.
:resp: The IP address responding to a connection from *orig*.
:resp_p: The destination port at *resp*.
:analyzer: The analyzer ID.
:tout: A timeout interval after which the scheduling request will be
discarded if the connection has not yet been seen.
:returns: True if successful.
