Specify 'file', followed by the full or relative path to the shared library. Or, specify 'directory', followed by the full or relative path to a directory of preprocessor shared libraries. (Same effect as -dynamic-preprocessor-lib or -dynamic-preprocessor-lib-dir options). See chapter 5 for more information on dynamic preprocessor libraries.
dynamicengine dynamicengine $[$ file $<$shared library path$>$ $\vert$ directory $<$directory of shared libraries$>$ $]$ Tells snort to load the dynamic engine shared library (if file is used) or all dynamic engine shared libraries (if directory is used). Specify 'file', followed by the full or relative path to the shared library. Or, specify 'directory', followed by the full or relative path to a directory of preprocessor shared libraries. (Same effect as -dynamic-engine-lib or -dynamic-preprocessor-lib-dir options). See chapter 5 for more information on dynamic engine libraries.

Specify 'file', followed by the full or relative path to the shared library. Or, specify 'directory', followed by the full or relative path to a directory of detection rules shared libraries.
