-== NAME
-
-idl2wrs - CORBA IDL to Wireshark Plugin Generator
-
-== SYNOPSIS
-
-*idl2wrs* <filename>
-
-== DESCRIPTION
-
-*idl2wrs* is a program that takes a user specified *CORBA IDL*
-file and generates *"C"* source code for a *Wireshark* "plugin".
-
-This resulting file can be compiled as a *Wireshark* plugin, and
-used to monitor *GIOP/IIOP* traffic that is using this IDL.
-
-*idl2wrs* is actually a shell script wrapper for two *Python* programs.
-These programs are:
-
-* *wireshark_be.py*
-Contains the main IDL Visitor Class
-
-* *wireshark_gen.py*
-Contains the Source Code Generator Class
-
-*idl2wrs* supports heuristic dissection of GIOP/IIOP traffic,
-and some experimental code for explicit dissection, based on
-Object Key <-> Repository Id mapping.
-However, code for heuristic based plugins is
-generated by default, and users should consider this the preferred
-method unless you have some namespace collisions.
-
-== OPTIONS
-
-Currently there are no options. *idl2wrs* can be invoked as follows.
-
-1. To write the C code to stdout.
-
- idl2wrs <your_file.idl>
-
- eg: idl2wrs echo.idl
-
-2. To write to a file, just redirect the output.
-
- idl2wrs echo.idl > packet-test.c
-
-== ENVIRONMENT
-
-*idl2wrs* will look for *wireshark_be.py* and *wireshark_gen.py* in
-*$PYTHONPATH/site-packages/* and if not found, will try the current
-directory *./*
-
-The *-p* option passed to omniidl (inside *idl2wrs*) indicates where
-*wireshark_be.py* and *wireshark_gen.py* will be searched. This may
-need tweaking if you place these files somewhere else.
-
-If it complains about being unable to find some modules (eg tempfile.py),
-you may want to check if PYTHONPATH is set correctly.
-
-eg: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3/

-
-== NOTES
-
-*idl2wrs* (including *wireshark_be.py* and *wireshark_gen.py*) are part of
-the *Wireshark* distribution. The latest version of *Wireshark* can
-be found at https://www.wireshark.org.
-
-*idl2wrs* uses *omniidl*, an IDL parser, and can be found at
-http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/
-
-== TODO
-
-Some of the more important things to do are:
-
-* Improve Explicit dissection code.
-
-* Improve command line options.
-
-* Improve decode algorithm when we have operation name collision.
