### Protobufs
2323
If you want to try to find protobufs, use the `--protobufs` switch on the command line. This is somewhat experimental code and is not optimal for large databases as it literally tries to parse every blob as a protobuf and records when a blob correctly parses. It requires you to have the `protoc` [package](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf) installed. This may have false positives for binary data which appears to start like a protobuf.
