Exit with a failure when errors are encountered loading signatures.

.. option:: --strict-rule-keywords[=all|<keyword>|<keywords(csv)]

Applies to: classtype, reference and app-layer-event.

By default missing reference or classtype values are warnings and
not errors. Additionally, loading outdated app-layer-event events are
also not treated as errors, but as warnings instead.

If this option is enabled these warnings are considered errors.

If no value, or the value 'all', is specified, the option applies to
all of the keywords above. Alternatively, a comma separated list can
be supplied with the keyword names it should apply to.

.. option:: --disable-detection

Disable the detection engine.
