This avoids potential problems with libc++ 8+ on case-insensitive file systems due to inclusion of a new header called <version> which will end up conflicting with the VERSION file if the search path includes the project root. |

.. _Zeek: https://www.zeek.org ================= Zeek BIF Compiler ================= The ``bifcl`` program simply takes a ``.bif`` file as input and generates C++ header/source files along with a ``.zeek`` script that all-together provide the declaration and implementation of Zeek_ Built-In-Functions (BIFs), which can then be compiled and shipped as part of a Zeek plugin. A BIF allows one to write arbitrary C++ code and access it via a function call inside a Zeek script. In this way, they can also be used to access parts of 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 Zeek source-tree.
