how to add custom message type

[HuangVictorAuto]

Hi, thanks for your great work on the offline cyber record. I want to add some custom message type, how can I make it work?

what do you mean by custom message type?

read

the message metadata are in the record file itself, if you want to read the message, cyber_record has already done this part of the work.

write

If you want to write some custom messages to create a record file, you can follow these steps

1. create a proto file for the custom message
2. compile the proto file to python protoc -I=$SRC_DIR --python_out=$DST_DIR $SRC_DIR/your_message.proto
3. Fill data into messages in python and use the api provided by cyber_record to write messages
