Plugins are small executable (TTP) files. There are two types of plugins.

Converter Plugins
Converter plugins operates on captured data. User selected captured data and TansuTCP sends selected input and output data to the plugin. With this type of plugin you can save selected data, convert to a new format, etc.

Listener Plugins
Lisner plugins are called automatically while listening is started. With this type of plugin you can change data, send data to another server, log data, etc.

Interested in Plugin Development ?
That's why I have spent lots of time to add plugin functionality to TansuTCP. You can find Delphi plugin templates and source files of some plugins inside the Source installation folder. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or if you want to share your plugin.

Some FAQ about plugins are listed below:

- Can I develop plugins with C or C++ ?
Yes, you can.
- What is FastShareMem.pas ?
This file must be the first unit and helps sharing data with TansuTCP and your plugin DLL.
- What is UPluginUtils.pas
This is a small utility library for plugin developers. You can find useful procedures inside.
