[lwip-devel] [patch #10327] test/fuzz: Add script to convert between different formats

[J. Neuschäfer]

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #10327 (project lwip):

This script would not be needed for any normal operations. It is *only* useful
when dealing with inputs produced by fuzzing, and thus will not impact any
regular users of lwIP by pulling in Python as a dependency.

It is more useful than the existing output_to_pcap.sh, because it also deals
with multi-packet fuzzing inputs, and because it can reconstruct inputs from a
text-based representation (this is useful for trying to minimize an input
using delta[1], for example).

I chose python because I am familiar with it, because I was able to implement
my idea in it quickly, and because it isn't a *totally* obscure language.
