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:: LogAscii
Interface for the ASCII log writer. Redefinable options are available
to tweak the output format of ASCII logs.
The ASCII writer currently supports one writer-specific per-filter config
option: setting ``tsv`` to the string ``T`` turns the output into
"tab-separated-value" mode where only a single header row with the column
names is printed out as meta information, with no "# fields" prepended; no
other meta data gets included in that mode. Example filter using this::
local f: Log::Filter = [$name = "my-filter",
$writer = Log::WRITER_ASCII,
$config = table(["tsv"] = "T")];

Redefinable Options
###################
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::empty_field
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``"(empty)"``
String to use for empty fields. This should be different from
*unset_field* to make the output unambiguous.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::gzip_level
:Type: :bro:type:`count`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``0``
Define the gzip level to compress the logs. If 0, then no gzip
compression is performed. Enabling compression also changes
the log file name extension to include ".gz".
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::include_meta
:Type: :bro:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``T``
If true, include lines with log meta information such as column names
with types, the values of ASCII logging options that are in use, and
the time when the file was opened and closed (the latter at the end).
If writing in JSON format, this is implicitly disabled.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::json_timestamps
:Type: :bro:type:`JSON::TimestampFormat`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``JSON::TS_EPOCH``
Format of timestamps when writing out JSON. By default, the JSON
formatter will use double values for timestamps which represent the
number of seconds from the UNIX epoch.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::meta_prefix
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``"#"``
Prefix for lines with meta information.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::output_to_stdout
:Type: :bro:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``F``
If true, output everything to stdout rather than
into files. This is primarily for debugging purposes.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::separator
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``"\x09"``
Separator between fields.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::set_separator
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``","``
Separator between set elements.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::unset_field
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``"-"``
String to use for an unset &optional field.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
.. bro:id:: LogAscii::use_json
:Type: :bro:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``T``
If true, the default will be to write logs in a JSON format.
This option is also available as a per-filter ``$config`` option.
