Description-en: network packet capture library -- development files
Wiretap, part of the Wireshark project, is a library that allows one to
read and write several packet capture file formats.
.
Supported formats are:
* Libpcap
* Sniffer
* LANalyzer
* Network Monitor
* "snoop"
* "iptrace"
* Sniffer Basic (NetXRay)/Windows Sniffer Pro
* RADCOM WAN/LAN Analyzers
* Lucent/Ascend access products
* HP-UX nettl
* Toshiba ISDN Router
* ISDN4BSD "i4btrace" utility
* Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System iplogging facility
* pppd logs (pppdump-format files)
* VMS TCPTRACE
* DBS Etherwatch (text format)
* Catapult DCT2000 (.out files)
.
Wiretap's shortcomings are: no filter capability and no support for packet
capture.
.
This package contains the static library and the C header files.
