okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for snort2dlf — part of LogReport's Lire Documentation, and honestly? it's a whole little icon. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

snort2dlf — the converter that takes your Snort logs and turns them into firewall DLF. that's it, that's the job. no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

snort2dlf

just the command, no flags, no arguments. clean. minimal. main character energy ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: snort2dlf converts Snort logs into firewall DLF format. simple, right?

the input for this converter is the standard snort logfile. that's what it eats, that's what it spits out in a new format. it's giving "glow-up for your log data" 💖

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

processing a log as produced by snort 🍓

if you've got a logfile straight from snort, you feed it in like this:

$ snort2dlf < snort.log

slay. done. 💅

the more likely scenario 👑

ngl, snort2dlf will be rarely used on its own — it's lowkey more likely to get called by lr_log2report:

$ lr_log2report snort < snort.log

so it's kind of a "works behind the scenes" situation. supporting character with main character impact, iykyk 💫
