This directory contains source code for libpcap, a system-independent
interface for user-level packet capture. libpcap provides a portable
framework for low-level network monitoring. Applications include
network statistics collection, security monitoring, network debugging,
etc. Since almost every system vendor provides a different interface
for packet capture, and since we ve developed several tools that
require this functionality, we ve created this system-independent API
to ease in porting and to alleviate the need for several
system-dependent packet capture modules in each application.
