Missing Documentation

This chapter holds stubs for subjects that have yet to be documented. Some of these are actually already somewhat covered elsewhere in the manual. In addition, a major missing piece for the manual is the Bro language itself; below we mention some Bro language topics that come up elsewhere in the current version of the manual.
