Module retina_core::config

Configuration options.

While applications that use Retina are free to define their own command line arguments, Retina requires a separate configuration file that defines runtime options for CPU and memory usage, network interface(s), logging, protocol-specific items, and more. The path to the configuration file itself will typically be a command line argument passed to the application.

Retina can run in either “online” mode (reading packets from a live network interface) or “offline” mode (reading packets from a capture file). See configs for examples.
