preprocessor's rules???

[Rachmat Hidayat Al-Anshar <rachmat_hidayat_02 () yahoo com>]

Hi all.... :)

I just want to know more about this following line on
snort configurations file..
var PREPROC_RULE_PATH ../preproc_rules

what is preprocessor rules are??
and then, since I know that Snort's preprocessor only
use plug-ins for its
process, is it something that I missed about this
"rules" for preprocessor...

Any response supporting this question will greatly
appreciated
Thanks in advance
