----------------------------------
Extend this one?

And/or: add it to the header section of scripts/../raw.bro?
(And then document the other ones as well :)

> With the current input framework, file data \-> event translation requires that the entire data file be read at bro start time. This can be prohibitive when the file sizes become large ( > 1GB ).
> It would be great to see a file open option that would start reading at the end of the file.
