I am currently planning to study the C++ source code of the Snort project on GitHub, but I am not sure where to start. Specifically, I am unsure about which file is the entry point, or which file the developers began writing the code from.

Could someone please guide me on how to identify the main entry point of the Snort project?

Any insights into the structure or files that could be helpful for understanding the flow of the program would be greatly appreciated.

  • The entry point is the main function. Whichever source file contains the main function is the one that is the entry point source file.

  • If for some weird reason main isn't the entry point, just break in your debugger and inspect the call stack. Commented Mar 22 at 12:34

    I looked at the Snort3 project on GitHub. The src/main.cc source file has the main function in it.
