Hey jah,
|
| I envisioned the possibility of removing the
| parse_protocols/services/rpc functions at some point in the future.  The
| common_files table holds a default format for the returned data for each
| file and allows simply calling, for example, parse_file( "nmap-services"
| ) and can easily be extended to include any future data files that might
| be included with nmap.
|
| Personally, I think that script writers will find it more intuitive to
| call parse_file in this way than being required to call specific
| functions for the various data files.  What do you think?

the reason for the proposal was to remove a few if-branches for common
file handling in parse_file(). I prefer parse_rpc() over
parse_file('nmap-rpc') but I don't mind if we keep it the way it's
currently implemented.

Cheers,
Sven
