Dropping packets using snort

[Devdutt Patnaik <xendevid () gmail com>]

Hi All,

I was developing a preprocessor plugin in snort and need to drop packets
based on the content.
I have a couple of basic questions :

1 > Does snort operate on a copy of the packet ?
2 > If yes,  does snort-inline work on actual packets ?
3 > Can I block certain packets using a mechanism in snort so that it does
not reach the application.

Thanks in advance.
