Load Order
==========

How scripts get loaded is non-trivial. A quick summary follows.

The following steps *always* happen, regardless of whether the plugin gets loaded or not.

1. Zeek startup
2. Plugin activation
3. :doc:`__preload__.zeek </scripts/__preload__.zeek>` always gets loaded
   The preload mechanism is primarily for loading types, defined in :doc:`types.zeek </scripts/types.zeek>` which the rest of the scripts depend on.
4. :doc:`__load__.zeek </scripts/__load__.zeek>` always gets loaded

If the plugin is explicitly loaded (:code:`@load NCSA/external_dns`), the load process continues:

5. :doc:`NCSA/external_dns/__load__.zeek </scripts/NCSA/external_dns/__load__.zeek>` then loads the rest of the scripts.
